    Is this the sort of thing that Apple are trying to muscle in on with the mac mini being HDMI compatible (via a £15 gizmo), Front Row and the Apple TV?


    Yep, and to be honest it really isn't anything fantastic. AppleTV is just a giant iPod with HDMI. It's taken Microsoft almost six years to get it right, and then in Windows Vista, they literally ruined it.


    This is Media Centre 2005. Looks nice, and simple. It is.


    The above one is Vista's version. Ugly, slow and crashes an awful lot.

    As much as Apple makes nice and simple products Front Row and Apple TV are overly simple and not fun to use. MCE is at least a little colourful and more fun. But I'd take a Mac over Windows anyday, particuarly for the Final Cut Pro software.
