We everyone must do it since I've seen a few pics posted here. Hmm, let me do a quick check with all my family members and friends.... Nope, none have a PC next to their TV.
lol
Reading too much into it. Microsoft has always promoted the XBox as the living room device, not Windows. I mean Kinect was for the XBox but now I have one hooked up to my PC. and it's supported by Microsoft.
Plus Microsoft isn't going to talk about Windows 8 until Build.
Here's the other side of it from Microsoft: http://blogs.technet.com/b/microsof...re-the-pc-is-headed-plus-is-the-new-post.aspx
from blog said:Ill be the first to admit that these new non-PC objects do a great job at enabling people to communicate and consume in innovative and interesting ways. (snip) And thats why one should take any reports of the death of the PC with a rather large grain of salt. Because creating and collaborating are two of the most basic human drives, and are central to the idea of the PC. (snip)
So while its fun for the digerati to pronounce things dead, and declare were post-PC, we think its far more accurate to say that the 30-year-old PC isnt even middle aged yet, and about to take up snowboarding.
And likewise I would think it's logical to see flak about the notion that no one connects PCs to TVs in this very same HTPC section.
It's illogical to think that there is anything other than a niche market for HTPC's or PC's next to the TV.

Well it definitely isn't the PC. No one puts a PC next to their TV.
Dude, you're still wrong. You stated that NO ONE puts a pc next to their TV.
Don't make blanket generalizations next time if you don't want to look foolish
According to my poll 81% of the population places a PC next to their TV.
See what I did there?
Another factor is that WMC isn't exactly mass market, as he cites stats indicating only 6 percent of Windows 7 users launched the app in July, with over half of those sessions lasting less than a couple of minutes.
Our opt-in usage telemetry shows that in July, Windows Media Center was launched by 6% of Windows 7 users globally.
You should get a job on Wall Street as an analyst.
So unless Microsoft comes back and tells us how many of the 400 million Win7 licenses they have sold to date have opted in, that 6% figure is next to meaningless to me.
You'd still be wrong.
lol, ok buddy. You keep feeling like you are right with you 'poll'.

Ok! :cool:
I wouldn't be surprised if WMC is only available in the Home Premium and Ultimate editions of Windows 8. Hell, I wouldn't be surprised if it made an appearance only in the Ultimate edition.
