Personally I prefer to use WinXP to play from. And I prefer Linux (in a completely non-GUI mode) to host from. I think the new switches for things like AI setting, preexec, and if they can get the "create game and quit" mode to work we will have all the command-line switches to make a really good web-based management for multiple games. Game settings selection, maps selection, sign-up, start game, and upload/download turns.
I will wait until thats all working before I start asking the devs for better export of data so the games webpage can reflect game progression.
