First post folks, so be nice.
I'm very new to Kodi/XBMC and have been researching for the best device for me. It appears generally Windows is not recommended. However after reading several posts its not clear why windows is so disliked. Mainly everyone cites auto-update as an annoying feature, but this should be easily fixed by disabling auto-update.
Other than this and when cost is not an issue, can someone clarify why windows should not be the first choice?
The reason I'm leaning towards windows, over Openelec are -
1. 3D ISO playback with external player support
2. Proper VC-1 support.
3. Cool add ons like Cinema experience (is there something equivalent in Openelec?)
4, Netflix/ other streaming apps
From the youtube videos I have seen, Windows kodi installs are as snappy as Openelec and there are ways to make it look more like an appliance than a PC (removing login, startup to XBMC etc).
Can someone pls highlight to me what are the major flaws/ stability issues with windows?
