[QUOTE="janjuul, post: 124410, member: 41091"] ktjensen, Please don't make the freeware or linux the reason why commercial products evolve -- that is a very simplistic picture of the world. MP is actually running on a very successful commercial software package called Windows from Microsoft - and one thing that Microsoft has brought to us i user centric design, and focus on collaboration and integration for the benefits of the users. They are not the best in any of the areas (Mac is great on UI and Media, Linux is great around stability and scalability, etc.) But Microsoft has managed to collect most of these technologies and features and provide it in one easy accessible package..... I don't work for microsoft, nor do I need to praise them. But I'm just seeing too many people spend their time on pointing towards Microsoft or other commercial products being the 'common' enemy of open software and world peace ;) Sorry to say, but Microsoft is only successful because they have managed to provide us with somethings the others didn't. [B]Easy of installation and use !!![/B] Maybe not the most feature rich functions, but they are there and working seamlessly together with other products from the same vendor. (does it smell of MP and the plug-ins). If mediaportal could provide the same functionality - i.e. easy of installation and use for 95% of the relevant target audience (including no blue screen ;) ) - them Mediaportal will rule the world for media center software. And I would love to see that happen. You can only exceed if you admit that there is room for improvement..... PS: that should by the way be the biggest room in the world ;-) [/QUOTE]
