The OS can make a difference, but not in the way that the audio dealer suggests.
If you have a PC that runs any form of Windows, you already know about the antivirus, antispyware, security updates and accompanying frequent reboots windows requires just to continue to run. If windows is updating and rebooting in the middle of a party or while you are showing off the system to friends, it could be very embarrassing. Antispyware and antivirus programs also require frequent updates and sometimes reboots. If you want a system that works reliably with minimal maintenance, get a Mac or run a PC with linux. The performance of SqueezeCenter will be better (faster serving of web pages, etc.) and you won't have to do nearly as much maintenance as with a windows machine. Any OS will provide the exact bits required for reconstruction of the audio and barring total interruptions of service due to some of the less reliable OS's, the bits will sound the same.
