[QUOTE="CSMR, post: 786879, member: 112199"] I haven't tried WMC on Windows 7. When I last tried it on Windows Vista, it was missing many of the features that I would consider basic: Playing music - didn't have gapless playback, didn't browse by folder Playing movies - hard to get mkv to work with dxva and subtitles, I think I didn't succeed when I tried to do this Pictures - Rendition was not correct. I felt that the software was increasing the saturation I don't know if these are improved in Win 7, but I don't have confidence in the consumer units of Windows to get these things right. Mediaportal's reliability and ease of use has improved. It is also much easier to set up than it used to be. Reliability is still its key shortcoming for me, but basic features are more important. Better to get it right 99% of the time than get it wrong 100% of the time without crashing. [/QUOTE]
