Mac Mini vs. Media Center

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the ding-ding dept.

An anonymous reader writes "C|Net is pitting the new Intel Core Duo Mac Mini against Microsoft Media Center. The first round of the fight concludes: 'The Mac Mini automatically recognised the LCD TV we're using, and the third-party tuner was similarly straightforward to set up. Compared to the hours we've spent coaxing similar results out of a Microsoft Media Center system, the Mini is definitely ahead so far.'"

    We pit a toy poodle against a box full of kittens. WHO WILL EMERGE VICTORIOUS?

      I think a far more interesting proposition would be to pit a 100lb pit bull against 100lbs of chihuahuas.

    Hey, come on now... They tried connecting the Mac Mini to an LCD, and it worked! Then they went on to connecting some USB tuner card to the Mini, and it worked as well! Surely, there's a lot of useful info in this article, and it's not bad for a weeks work, don't you agree?

    Yeah, me neither... Must be a slow newsweek or something...
