So I finished re-building one of my PC's. I broke down and bought Xp Media Center edition and all I have to say is WOW, with the remote I now have a fully functional Music center for my 84.000 tunes, they are all sorted with Album art, this is sweet.

Today I bought the wireless adapter for my Xbox360 which is hooked up to our TV in the main living room. Setup of the Media center on this puppy took a mere 20 minutes and is fool proof. I am at the moment streaming tunes to the 6 speakers in that room, Playing tunes through the PC in the kitchen (ceiling speakers) while streaming pictures to our Sony Wega...I am hooked.

I also sneaked on-line playing Call of Duty 2 for Xbox360...i guess I have some training to do.

Merry X-mas everyone.
