,----[ Quote ]
| It also does too many things on it’s own, which is to be expected from 
| Microsoft. XD. It starts to overwrite cover art for every single little puny 
| mistake you make in your tags.

,----[ Quote ]
| I also worked for a company which designed dedicated media center
| machines. Slick looking boxes for under the tv action. drool. Around
| 20000 sold, and counting. So that means I have a very valid opinion.
| 
| My son has a mce machine in his room, I have one in the lounge, and my 
| car is running mce. I also got my brother and sister set up with mce.
| So now I have a very very very valid opinion.
| 
| That means you have to sit and listen while I moan, because I am not
| moaning due to having a bad day. I am moaning due to this piece of
| crap microsoft is trying to tout to all and sundry. Yes, I have
| given it a good innings, more than most would attempt, and I still
| use it for lack of anything else wife friendly. That doesnt make
| it good.
