I didn't say i wanted vista, i said i wanted MCE. I don't want vista at all - at least not for now.

So I don't need media center, then? Front row will show me a TV schedule....let me pick what i want to record, and record it for me? Really....cause i'm sure that's a shocker to alot of people.

There are PLENTY of reasons to run media center - maybe not for you, but for me there are.

Again, i specifically said something that will also let me RECORD - not just play. Front Row is fine for playing, and there's a good chance that's what i will be using 75% of the time - i do want MCE, though, to see how well the mini does as a DVR/recorder.
