Unfortunately, he uses the system to stream video to an Xbox.
There are some options. I might build him a "windoze media edition" box in his
entertainment system so that his main desktop isn't restricted to running vista.
He's seen my mythTV system and was so impressed with it that I might set him up
with a minimal MythTV system. I mentioned the limitations with only being able
to record unscrambled video but he's cool with it.
Another possibility is to set him up with a linux system and a KVM. Let him
decide which system is best for what he does. It doesn't take much of a system
to brouse photo albums, but that is more than vista can handle without
choking.
