[QUOTE="een_mq, post: 83385, member: 25187"] Where do I start... Many people were lured by the look of MCE, sure it looked sleek out of the box, and integration into windows surely means that it should work very well? But no: 1. Hardware support, MCE only support the digital side of my hybrid card, while MP supports everything. 2. MCE hides too much stuff from you, if something goes wrong all you can do is reboot and hope for the best... While in MP you have an army of MP users and developers who are very eager to help you... 3. It's opensource, which means that MP's bug is worked on all the time rather than swept under the rug like MS. And the enthusiasm of people who actually look after MP because they want to not because they are paid to do so... It really shows in the final product... 4. The attitude, in MCE, if some hardware is not supported, you are stuffed. people constantly buy and replace their hardware to make it work in MCE. While in MP, the developers constantly added support for newer cards all the time based on users' request... 5. The great community... When I started MP, my MP setup was only 50% working, now it's 90% there... Staying with MCE in one year did not really give me anything... And lots more... [/QUOTE]
