New Review Compares MythTV to Vista MCE

Parkus writes "There's a nice review on AVS forum of MythTV (Ubuntu) and Windows Vista MCE. The author tried both back to back and explains the pluses and minuses of each system after using them for a month. Helpful if you're thinking about setting up your own home theater rig."

Re:Driver problems in Vista, but not Linux?

I'm surprised he was able to make Vista work at all. The solutions to Windoze driver problems are not something the average GNU/Linux person would know.

This and several M$ key phrases make me suspect the author and think MythTV is better than he describes.

Re:no change of heart, M$ still sucks.

No, XP still sucks.

Oh, I wasn't referring to your pathological hatred of Microsoft products, just the fact that you can't waffle your "arguments" without someone calling you out on them. Can't claim the sky is blue one day and red the next one just because it's convenient, can we?

As a PVR it has poor uptime and should not be connected to the internet.

Really. Do you own one?

Just the same, the author should know that XP is more stable than Vista and there's more software and hardware available for XP to make a PVR than there is for Vista.

More software and hardware... As in the computer and Media Center? Do you even read what you write?

The future is free.

As long as the future does not include people like you, it can be free or non free as far as I'm concerned.
