Roadkill on the Convergence Highway

Duke Weber writes "Microsoft sometimes gets it right after three tries. Not so with Windows Media Center 2005. You do get a dancing Scooby Doo. You don't get much Media." From the article: "As a DVR, one tuner was just OK, with a second tuner working, it was still OK, provided you weren't too picky about mouths moving at the same time words came out. Out with the snazzy Realtek integrated sound on the ASUS-A8V motherboard. In with an Audigy 2ZS to lessen the load on the AMD 64 3000+ processor. More gadgets. That cured the synch. The picture still was no where close to a vintage Tivo. But it does keep track of the programs, important with a terabyte of disc."

"and delivering the content directly to you."
Oh really? You mean I can watch my TV through Apple iTunes?
What? I can only watch 4 lousy ABC shows? What? Only 320 by 200 resolution???
You sir, obviously either do not watch any TV or don't watch anything other than broken, streaming, lame broadcasts on your PC.
Watch HD football on MCE and get back to me when iTunes can do the same.
I will expect to hear from you in about 20 years. See YA!
