When I read "maybe the only one that could challenge the Apple TV" I threw up a little. I watch videos like Ctrl-Alt-Chicken on my TV, it's very very easy. Vista Media Player Sharing is simple - Download file - turn on Xbox - open Videos. Oh by the way, Xbox is already out, I already own it, and so do people I want to share video with.

I look at this and Apple TV and wonder why anybody would buy them instead of chipping an Xbox and running Xbox Media Center. For a bit less money, you get almost everything the Netgear or Apple TV boxes do, (you can stream your iTunes, but it won't play your DRM-ed movie downloads) plus it plays games, has a built-in DVD player, and has a huge developer community. Granted, it takes a little work to get it all going but it's still the best media box you can get. Or maybe you could spend less and get a box that does more.
