[QUOTE="hafblade, post: 1029320, member: 110423"] I use Win8 and think it's some really great system for htpcs (and not only for them). I also solved the autostart problem with eventghost. On windows start it waits 5 seconds, emulates win-button-press and starts mediaportal. thats all. But at the moment I don't use autostart because mediaportal is not the only program I use on the htpc. I also like that you can navigate with the harmony remote / or some mce remote in the modern ui and there are some apps on the market which work great with remote (all apps that work with the cursor keys). So you can watch the weather or read the news on your tv. :) Together with steam big picture mode you also have some really cool method to use your htpc as some gaming console. The only thing I miss is to use a gamepad in the modern ui. I really don't know why microsoft doesn't support this. At the moment I emulate keyboard presses with the gamepad but that's no real solution. With Win8.1 the autostart problem is solved and than Win8 is the best operating system for htpc, imho. [/QUOTE]
