Star 'Linux Media Center Better Than Windows Media Center?'

Multimedia, AV "With the release of Windows Vista, using your PC to watch and record TV has become a whole lot easier. Now, for the first time, Windows Media Center comes bundled with Home Premium and Ultimate versions of the standard Desktop operating system. However, Vista is pricey, and its form and function are of course dictated by Microsoft. If you want full control over your Home Theater PC, and don't want to have to pay Microsoft for it, then Linux is a more than capable alternative base for building a system of your own."

"I didn't say I use Media Center. In fact, I specifically said I use Media Portal, which is open source and has far more skins and plugins than I've ever found for Myth. I totally agree that Media Center lacks some of the features and customization that many open source applications offer. Please read a little more carefully before you flame next time."


I'm flattered...from your article "I've tried MythTV, Freevo, and GeexBox, and found all 3 to be lacking in features and usability in comparison to Windows Media Center", and I called you a liar.
