Micro$uck in my opinion, is missing the bigger picture when it comes to their Media Center.
AT&T, Apple & Google are all catering (wining & dining) the movie and TV industry moguls (NBC, CBS, Disney, etc.) trying to entice them into deals, which allows them to provide the normal broadcast venues via the internet. So, you subscribe for your daily TV programs via AT&T, Apple TV, Google TV, thus eliminating the likes of Comcast, DirectTV, Cox etc.
They want to supply you your programming via the internet.
Now Micro$uck on the other hand, already has the perfect software in place for all of this. Media Center, gives a rich menu driven broadcast TV, which honestly (I think is better than Cable), it also, has auto DVR's built in. great remote control options; everything plus, much, much more
BUT what is M$ trying to do?
They are trying to phase their Media Center out of Windows!!!!!
To me that is insane, they have everything already in place, soooooo, wine & dine the industry and start providing the entertainment.
BUT Microsoft is so stupid, they will phase it out. Wait, until everyone is already doing it, wait another 6 years and then try to re-invent Media Center as the newest, bestest, program for multi-media; Maybe they will call the new OS Windows 8 Revisited.
