Sooooooo much work has gone into the MP client, its quite complex, and I don't want to see plug-ins (games, skype, etc etc etc) that only work on Windows or Linux. On the other hand the server only handles TV, and seems on the face of it a more reasonable chunk to bite.

People love the GUI of MediaPortal and the mythtv server works great for linux, so if the Mp-Client will be running on linux and will be able to connect to mythtv-server, that will be enough for most of the users. after all, a lot of work has been spended on mythtv-server (drivers, etc...) it is a waste to do that again.
but lets leave it for now, the WPF isue seems to be a big threat on this project.
