Hey capitalf, thanks for that link to the FLOSS comparison! Yes, that is pretty close to what I meant. I remember seeing the link, but disregarded it as the data is over two years old. However, I would agree that would be a good foundation to build on. I think there was a bit of over emphasis on Linux solutions. The All-in-One...

Fortunately my wife loves MP nearly as much as I do. She loves to use it and show off to our friends. BUT it's still entirely my responsibility. The real MP experience in my house involves my wife or our housemate saying "hey it would be cool if you added X functionality to the HTPC." So then on the weekend while I'm working on...

Hi Lloydsmart - so, almost a year on, what was your decision in the end? I am very happy with MP, but I am also wondering about the leap into Linux based computing, only because I want to experiment with a system with multiple clients on it, and I don't want the expense of lots of XP or W7 licenses. I am also looking for the least...
