[QUOTE="ZetaVu, post: 104932, member: 17069"] I for one am not planning on moving to Vista anytime soon, and I suspect many parts of media portal will be broken on vista. I have not looked into it, I'm sure there are threads discussing it. I do know over at Snapstream they are trying to get a vista working version of btv out. Big issues are user permissions, dvd codecs, overlay, web access, deinterlacing, etc etc. To have sideshow work on xp, wouldn't that be more of a hardware issue? Sideshow basically sounds like a small flash device running on its own embedded system but capable of reading data while a computer is off.
