As a bit of a follow up (Because I'm sure someone's going to comment on it)....."Would you expect your Tivo to be able to do two things at once?" I should have written this differently......perhaps "Would you expect your Tivo to act as a computer on a 2nd monitor?"Essentially what I'm saying is that by trying to get one computer to do HTPC duties, as well as regular computer duties, you're really only getting a 50% experience from each. With that reduction in priorities, you're also getting a reduction in functionality.
