welcome to the dark side :) - Shey

Want to buy my copy? I'm about done with it. - Brian Daniel Eisenberg

I use a MacBook Pro as my primary computer, but in terms of an entertainment computer, a Vista PC runs circles around anything Apple has to offer -- especially if you want to pipe content to multiple rooms in your home using XBox 360s as media center extenders. MSFT is two years ahead of Apple in home digital entertainment. - Thomas Hawk

By the way MG, watch out for the MSFT/NFLX DRM with this though. http://thomashawk.com/2008/05/... - Thomas Hawk

Just to toss this in there - I know a fellow who couldn't get Vista media center to stream to his XBOX because the video card he has doesn't have proper Vista drivers to allow the DRM. The silly thing is he can stream to his PS3 just fine. - Jason Kaneshiro

Thanks Thomas, very good heads up, @jason, sounds like Thomas' problem was that video card issue maybe. interesting... obviously i'll do more research on it... - MG Siegler

also thomas, i've been with you for a while on the xbox 360 living room bandwagon - http://www.parislemon.com/2007... - MG Siegler

I am sooo not impressed with Vista, didn't even click your link (i usually do for your stuff Matt!) ;-) - Susan Beebe

Loving Vista :P - Yuvi

I suffered through Vista for 5 months on my brand new laptop. Memory dumps, blue screens, hard drive scans, wireless connection drops, miscellaneous reboots... it's windows ME all over again. Since I installed XP (which I of course had to pay extra for) it's been running like a champ. - Becca

Blue screens are usually an indicator of a hardware/driver problem, not the O/S, most of the time. - Shey
