Yet another late update! I installed Windows Media Center about a week and a half ago and I am just loving it. The machine is a 1.0 GHz Pentium III with 768 MB RAM, about 100GB HD space, a GeForce FX 5200 for primary display card, and Avermedia 1500 MCE TV tuner card. The setup works really slick. I think I can see the 1.0GHz in some of the visual effects, but the TV viewing/recording works like a charm. I plan on writing a plugin or two for it as soon as I have a chance. I have a few ideas that I can't find implementations of anywhere. I've spend hours and hours the past few years tweaking my open source media center software, but for a variety of reasons I never got things exactly where I wanted them. This worked so well and is a clear reflection of Microsoft's work put into it. Bottom line: it's a great 10' experience, and I highly recommend it!
