Windows Media Center on Vista

So, is it any good?

(Compared to MCE2005?)

Yes, better than Windows XP MCE but for one thing - the Aquarium screen saver is missing which looks superb on the wall in HD.

That screen saver was only available on the Plus Pack for XP wasn't it?

Have you tried to install it manually? (as I guess it'd work)

Any limitations on Vista MCE Paul?

Got over 2TB of TV shows in the Videos folder currently and XP MCE takes around 10 seconds to pre-load the folder list

Other than that, I can't fault XP MCE!

Do any of the plugins work?

I LIVE by WebGuide for it you see
