Your comment makes no sense

The article talks about how consumers have not widely adopted PC's in the living room. That goes for Media Center PC's TOO!

Try building your own. Use Linux and Mythtv.

It's like a super Tivo. Mine has a 400GB hard drive and if I run out I'll just put another one in.

Mythtv plays games, shows weather, has news feeds, has photo and music section and is so far behond Windows Media Edition that Microsoft isn't even in the same league.

Oh and did I mention that Linux & Mythtv are free.

Seems a Little Rich.

I'm pretty sure everyone is looking to spend a little less for the Media Center PC. If the OEMs would get their heads out of their butts, they could build comparable systems for much less. They just seem to be hung up on upright boxes for some reason.

Huh?

$3500 to $15000 Media Centers with a cool names like Denali, Rainier and K2? Plus the cost of the TV to take advantage of them?

MythTV for me.

Move in the right direction but more needed

Like smaller keyboards with small half-sized vga lcds in them. The form factor for this is good and is one of the reasons people don't make them the center of their entertainment rooms.
There are still hurdles to come but this is a good concept.
