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."

  1. Question about the install process... by Toby_Tyke · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    The reviewer states that the Vista install took a long time because, since he had bought the upgrade version, he had to install XP first.

    I know for a fact that upgrade versions of eariler windows iterations did not require you to install an older version first. You could boot from the upgrade disc and install the OS, but you would be ask to insert the older versions disc at some point during the install process, just to verify you actually owned it. Is this no longer possible in Vista?
