[QUOTE="Sh4nn0w, post: 1124424, member: 24809"] Certainly an interesting discussion... :) From my perspective my needs as a user have changed over time, the geek in me is happy to try out new builds, tweak away and work around bugs, but since I now have 2 young children, more demanding job my free time is far more limited than it used to be. I think that having both MP1 & MP2 is the best approach. Its great users have the choice, when I first started using MP, I had tried XMBC, MythTV & Media Center and none of them worked how I wanted them to, MP was the only product at the time that came close. But for my wife, just changing skins is a major issue, let alone me changing to a new system, this is were MP1 comes in, she can use that with no involvement from me. I'm fine with fiddling away to get MP2 running the way I want, but to introduce a big change on our main HTPC, I have to be sure it will work similar to MP1, ie I use TVSeries and Moving Pictures mostly. From what I understand MP2 is nearly there, but not quite yet. So in my mind, MP1 meets my needs now, but I'll switch over to MP2 once I'm happy with it. Anyway since its more than a year since I tried out MP2, this thread has inspired me to take it for another spin...when I get some free time :D Keep up the great work! [/QUOTE]
