Additionally, we had serveral installations of former versions of XMC on windows, an we liked it too. But with the V8 ongoing the performance is bad (you can see it in the chart, windows is supported only for small) and the flexibility for troubleshooting is between awful and not existent....
So we moved ALL installations to V8 and virtual appliance based on linux.
Have no fear if you are not an expert in linux, this works out of of the box extremely smooth !
