I dont really get this point. I have Vista on my desktop in my study. I have stuck with Vista, despite same problems everyone is speaking about, for 2 reasons 1. DirectX10 for gaming 2. PC-TV For PC to TV I use my PS3 connected to my TV in the living room to access content on my VistaPC in the Study. The same thing can be done with Xbox360. I dont need a "dedicated" PC at the TV to do this. I have read that the same functionality is possible for WinXP using WMv11 but as it is working really well with Vista I am sticking with it.
