The laptop turns on instantly for these functions and has a 15" near-TV quality screen. To use DVR functions like time shifting and recording, the user must boot the Windows Media Center OS."

    I have yet to use the WMC - but I am sure it has online features built in to it. How is the security for this media OS? Is Microsoft digging themselves into a new hole and going to have to release ANOTHER Service Pack LATE! Also- how much of a pain would it be running 2 operating systems with one OS having only one reason for being there... I don't know I can't judge hard until I see it.
