That application is pretty neat. It allows you to connect to your home media with just a login and access all your media from work, friends, or mobile device.

And it just changes user interface to more friendly.

For now you really don’t need an expensive box. You can easily connect your PC to a HDTV with a high-quality VGA/SVGA cable.

Or some of the newer graphics cards have HDTV out and some even HDMI.

It’s just a GUI. This doesn’t actually solve any of the problems of actually getting content from your PC to your TV!

“Run a wire” isn’t a new solution, that’s been done for decades.

“Use a Wii or Xbox” isn’t a new solution either, that’s been done for years, just another box next to your PC.

I’m confused at how the ZvBox comparison is even remotely appropriate here. (Actually, it seems like the ZvBox would be ideal for getting this application to your TV in the first place.)

Something they should learn from intel (if not anything else)… overall they make awesome products.
