Nice guide and MCE is nice BUT I'd bet more people would buy it, if it was available as a seperate product.

I do agree

Michael: yes i also think that more people would buy it if ms would offer an package with remote control/mce supported tv card and winxp.mce... maybe this summer if they release windows xp mce update

The only problem is that a tuner, remote, and MCE altogether would cost hundreds of dollars, which I for one am not prepared to pay for only a few improvements over my existing system.

the problem ( well, for me its a problem

) with selling MCE seperately is that they will sell it bundled with the OS, and i will never buy an OS

if they would sell the remote seperately it will be just great!
