[QUOTE="erichzann, post: 1008740, member: 116360"] I don't see the problem here. Mediaportal has by far the best Android client. aMPdroid IMHO is much better than installing a full blown instance of XBMC on your android tablet, and with the other mobile apps such as EVE, soon MP will be available on all tablets. For those who want a Linux desktop client simply use XBMC with the TV Server Plugin. I use this on a raspberry pi. That just leaves the TV Server. I hear all the arguments for Linux over MS but the one argument that I can't understand is the money one. I bought a copy of Windows 8 while Microsoft had a deal on and it was about £40. When I compare this to the amount of time I used to spend tinkering and troubleshooting my linux installations (when I used to use Mint a few years ago) then Linux was far more expensive in terms of my time. Also for the perfect HTPC experience there are still a number of things that don't work well on Linux e.g. on the fly blu-ray decryption, silverlight implementation etc [/QUOTE]
