I'd also say no.

This sounds like getting into the realms of what MS have done with MCE, i.e. certified hardware support only - I'd say this limits the audience to be more consumer based, those who go to PC World and buy a packaged HTPC.

I'm all for greater stability & performance and I believe the developers are going down that route with the existing codebase, I've been using MP for 18 months since v0.0.0.8 (or something like that :wink: ) and it's amazing the progress that has been made since then. I'm willing to wait for the development to take its course and upgrade as and when releases or bug fixes come out.

For those who would not be willing to wait for the MP product to mature, I'd say go and buy MCE.

I also suspect what you highlight as core components is personal, for me I use Radio & Pictures a lot as well as Video/Music & TV.
