Review of the Roku HD1000 Media Player

Posted by michael on from the too-bad dept.

Animaether writes "Digital Producer magazine are running a review of the Roku HD1000 HD media player hardware. Between 'The unit crashed so much while I was testing it, I practically beat a path through the carpet to the unit's location on the shelf...' and 'Roku HD1000 misses by such a wide margin, it isn't worth buying', the review paints a pretty grim picture of this unit, and appears to put part of the blame on its Linux-based OS and software. The Roku HD1000 was previously covered here in December 2003."

    A negative review and front-page linkage on /.? Good luck recovering from this one, Roku!

    The real question here is: How are we going to blame this on Microsoft?
