And MS could have gotten by that by simply charging for the upgrade ala the iPod Touch. I would have happily paid $50 for it if it came with support. Same thing with 802.11n, Apple just created an installation CD and charged a minimum amount for it.
But since it breaks WebGuide, I would have probably thought long and hard about installing it. I guess the advantage of Windows 7 is that hopefully all this stuff works together.
I have long thought that Media Center was treated like the redheaded stepchild over in the eHome division, I think this just proves it. Unfortunate, as this is a Microsoft product that even a Mac user like myself love. It has so much potential beyond just being a fancy DVR.
