Some general guidance about hardware requirements can be found at: http://wiki.collectionspace.org/display/collectionspace/Quick+Start+Guide Collectively, we've hosted the CollectionSpace system on (at least) Windows XP, Linux (both Fedora and Ubuntu), and Mac OS X. I don't know personally if we have developers, or early implementers and testers, also running CollectionSpace on Windows 7, or any flavor of Windows Server. Others on this list may wish to comment. CollectionSpace 1.0 is scheduled to be released on October 20. QA testing of 1.0 beta is currently underway. If this fits with your timing, you might consider waiting until that release is available, as it offers both new functionality and significant improvements in performance.

Hi James, As Aron mentions, I don't think we have any implementers working with Windows7 or a Windows Server but, we can put you in touch with colleagues working with the other platforms. Also, if you have any other questions about features, functionality, schedule, etc. please let me know.
