Agreed- I will be very tempted to buy one if it handles live TV well. Right now I have a PC sat under my TV running Windows Media Center and it's awkward and showing it's age. I might buy a game too, who knows.
Alternately, I'd love to be able to put Linux on that box and make it a MythTV box. Sadly, my cable provider locks all their channels. For better or worse, MS are one of the few that could create a set top box that legally decrypts all these channels and has a great UI.
