Wherever you are posting from, you will need to go over to the planet "rec.audio.pro" to read the r.a.p response. Suffice it to say that none of your arguments hold much water in r.a.p-land. "Short-lived and unpopular" means that people who do serious audio tried MCE and were sufficiently burned that it now suffers a horrible reputation as something to be avoided at almost any cost. The vendors of our favorite hardware share our abhorrence which only reinforces the revulsion. MCE was clearly NOT designed for people doing serious audio and video production. Dunno why MCE fanbois should find this so remarkable? OTOH, if we ever feel the need to build a PVR or something, we'll look you up.
