I was a long time Windows Media Center user while my husband was at Microsoft, and it was great - we used our Xbox to run it. That was even before things like Netflix on demand (and before I discovered Apple products). I think the idea is that you stil want to get the viewing experience of a big beautiful TV screen with surround sound for watching movies - and since more and more of the good content I want to watch is on the web, I need to find a way to get it to my TV.

I think people are still discovering how much good "TV" isn't actually on TV anymore.
