[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 6102"] As MCE gets more press HTPC will move from the more technologically gifted to the everyday user. Yes having all the options we have is nice, but it can also be intimidating to the people that don't spend there free time playing with code and calling it fun. I would like to see the wizards be more available and even automatically come up after the first install. This would make MP much less intimidating to the new users, and make them more likely to leave MCE. It is like the same way AOL despite the fact it is a bloated piece of crap, still is the largest ISP in the world. The made the setup and surfing so easy a 3 year old could do it. Another way to look at it is, If I have a car with every option that can be put on a car, but I don't know how to use 80% of it, what good are all those options to me. I think MP is on the right track with letting us configure every aspect of the system, but as the HTPC community grows we will need to help along the new members that don't know what a codex is and just wants it to work. Something else to consider is a distro that has all the other supporting files like winamp and FF and such, again helping out the thenicalogicaly challenged. [/QUOTE]
