No those windows components are separate from alfresco and not related. You should however note that although alfresco works on Windows 7 its not a supported server platform.

Alfresco CE, is open source and there is no such restriction on user
ALso you can run alfresco on Linux system for reliability + you will save on license + antivirus cost

Thanks guys.

I have been doing a dual evaluation (after choosing Alfresco over Nuxeo) on Ubuntu Server, and Windows 7.
To be honest I found almost everything easier on Windows, but will probably choose Ubuntu, based on the benefits already listed.
