I agree regarding using windows here. It is a well known fact that the experience windows brings regarding compatibility to media/games has long been sought after. While I am a huge linux fan; and the only windows pc in our house is the MCE, I honestly am not interested in diving into compatibility issues of other systems especially when I know things like moonlight do not work on netflix.
What if I want to play games off of what is basically a PC hooked up to the tv? I would just rather keep it simple, and use the copy of windows that came with my $300 black friday emachine which has MCE. I don't even HAVE to use the MCE, maybe even just VLC - I mean it is just a pc. I spose if you want a pretty looking thing there is MCE, but for me all I want is a computer desktop on the TV and I will take it from there. If anyone is wondering the logitech diNovo works excellent with this system.
