I got all excited at the possibilities of where Media Center could go and ended up writing a blog entry, linked to my name here... if anyone is listening in the Media Center dev group, I'd love to put a few bugs in their ear.

Sorry... permalink linked to my name now instead of the main blog URL...

Regarding the developer side specifically, is it just me or is the presentation layer of Media Center a rip off of Cyberlink's PowerCinema?
See the pic here (http://www.gocyberlink.com/english/images/products/powercinema/3/pictures_main.jpg), funny right?

How is it that none of the parties have made public such an obvious licensing of code?

Yeah, getting some samples of how to write apps like MyWeather V2 by GriffenComposites(from thegreenbutton.com) would be cool. Also some managed samples for how to use the MCE SDK.

A fellow Microsoftee,

Interesting prospects

It would be great if you could provide some information about lower-level MCE extensibility (DSP plug-ins, supporting new file formats, etc.), assuming such features are supported.
