edit: and encoding vs decoding are 2 very different things man, but I'm going to stop there.

I have a feeling that while Core i7 runs better for W7, it is because Microsoft optimized W7 for Core i7.

And for a basic answer, encoding = turning a file of one format into another. decoding = taking formatted file and turning it into a more understandable format for a program to use. basically opposite of encoding.

Codexs are useful because they tell multimedia software how to decode a specific file type into something it can play.

Actually, they used an AMD based architecture for design. Not taking anything away from the i7, but M$ has been siding with AMD for some time now.
