It's almost as if there are people at these companies who want this to work. But then it's almost like all of the other people at these companies really don't want these things to work. The marketing departments sure as heck are not being employed. And that includes Microsoft. I love Media Center, I love my 360's extender functions, and I am pleased with my new Linksys extender(without DVD) regardless of the price. Cause I understand the price problem. There is something out there that is keeping the idea of using the computer/extender concept for home entertainment from EVER becoming mainstream. I thought these new extenders and MS's brief enthusiasm over Vista's MCE capabilities was finally a beginning. But even tho I use it and love it. I still talk to people everyday that can't see the benefits of doing home entertainment with this hub and spoke media solution. I am starting to think that MS's need to keep the 360 hot and their growing interest in MS powered set-top boxes is part of it. I also believe that in the end...Hollywood hates computers. They really hate them...unless they are being used for 200 million dollar animated movies...and we all know what kinda rigs they use for that!!! Q.
