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 see a lot of "Made in Malaysia" and "Made in China" on mine.

And some of the best programmers these days are found in India - Microsoft has outsourced a huge amount of its R&D to India.

SOME of the best programmers are in India. Generally how it works is one guy who knows what he is doing to one hundred who don't. That one guy is the guy who comes and meets with you, assures you that they are not a bunch of incompetents. A few months later, and they deliever pure garbage. This has been my experience with outsourcing to india.

There are some things you can outsource that don't really require skill, just a lot of man hours. There are other things that actually require talent.
