First, I never used MP, so it is just a question somebody maybe already thougt of.

To install MP you first have to install a windows-version, right? Every time you start your HTPC you first have to wait till windows finished to boot.

Wouldn`t it be better to have only a small distribution with a fast boot-time? (like linVDR)

I know that my solution is far away from present, but have you heard of ReactOS? (www.reactos.com). Maybe in future it would be possible to create a distribution based on Reactos to have a really free and open source HTPC.

Would this be possible.
(hope you understand my english)
