[QUOTE="DieBagger, post: 604762, member: 56421"] You make good points i-loop but for me MediaPortal behaved just as well under XP as it does under W7 (be it hacks or not, they worked). I'm not saying for some users it may solve problems that existed in XP but if someone has a fully working solution under XP (like I had) I'd say it's hardly worth spending €100 just to get W7 on a htpc that won't even benefit from the new features because MPI is running all day which has the same features on W7/XP. I got my copies for free (legally, not what you think :P) so I'm not complaining here but I would have never updated otherwise. One word on the S3 thingy: My laptop running W7 will automatically wake after a few minutes if I let it go to "sleep", can't really figure out why (never had that on XP). [/QUOTE]
