I just ordered a Via EPIA PX10000G Pico-ITX board and I plan to use it for very simple things, particularly bitcoin mining (with USB ASIC devices) and browsing the internet including watching videos like Youtube and Hulu. I have an extra copy of Windows Vista Ultimate lying around as well as well as all the versions of Windows Server, but I figure this motherboard won't be able to handle server versions of Windows (a Core 2 Duo can barely handle Windows Server 2012 R2). Since XP is kind of out of date now, I figure Vista would be the next best choice but I don't know how well it will run. I'm not too concerned about Aero, but it'd be nice if could have something like it (Vista basic just looks plain ugly).
Specs:
Via C7 @ 1.0 GHz
2 GB DDR2 @ 800 MHz
64 GB Wintec SSD
Via UniChrome Pro II Graphics
Thanks!
