I don't think we have to follow through with the fact TiVo is a complete boxed solution. I did write "even if it were a software app" - because the recommendations I gave were for install-yourself, but finished (in a consumer-friendly manner), software applications.

By the end of the year, when Microsoft is selling more Media Center OS versions than non, most people won't find this an issue at all. Don't know when you'll see it in a retail box with CDs alone, but I know you'll be seeing it in place of standard XP Home or Pro installs you see now shipping with boxed systems.
