As someone who uses two XBOX 1's as media center extenders, an XBOX 360 as a MCX, and owns a dual-core media center gateway, I was expecting more significant features to be added to media center. It appears that media center is getting more of an evolutionary update rather than a revolutionary one. I was particularly hoping to be able to watch TV and listen to music at the same time through the media center. Sports fans tend to do things like watch a game while listening to music. I was also hoping that whole-house music broadcasting would be implemented so that I can have my media center and all extenders playing the same music simultaneously. This would be perfect for me being that I have 3 MCX's and the media center pc itself. Also, a more direct integration of Directv with HD support would have been nice, considering there's a lot of talk about Cable Card support going around. Finally, it'd be nice if Urge was actually integrated into the media center interface as well as being accessible from WMP 11.
