CQC architecture

[Dean Roddey]

I would put the CQC MS on the domain server definitely. It will not cause any problems there and that will insure that it's always available and if you move outwards in your automation plans, you won't end up depending on the HTPC to be on all the time. You can run CQCServer (the device control backend part) on the HTPC of course, to handle the HTPC/Theater specific control stuff. CQCServer can be run on multiple machines, so if you later end up with any whole home device control you can run CQCServer on the MS machine or another machine somewhere as required.
