Apparently, by all accounts Microsoft have actually released a good program?!?
It works fine, I jave it a week now. :ph34r:
If you want a full featured media centre, Internet radio, swiss army knife then it's a belter. If you want something just to play music and movies and nothing else it's way too bloaty.
