Service Bus in production Environment

Hi:

I'm involved in a project in which Service Bus is perfect for centralize and distribute messages.

I'm some questions about:

¿It's the current release ready for production environment?

¿It's recomended install Service Bus on Windows 7 or Windows 8 for production environment?

We have now Windows 7 machines for video surveillance purpose. Use Windows Server it's not possible because the cost of the platform.

Really Service Bus is very interesting for us but we need to use it now in production and using the client version of windows operating system.

Thanks.
