You said you all had a little pow wow and all agreed that you were all getting mighty pissed of by the loud mouthed brit and something had to be done, and were i to stay you were considering closeing all xbox threads. so i am hopeing by me leaving you will keep them open and not punish the other good xbox users on here.
Well Paul, it's clear that some of us are with you and the devs desperately want to turn their back on the original box. I'm in the development world myself and understand the need to "move on". However, you must support your install base. I know this is a contentious issue around here. But it is a shame that only one dev is willing to spend their time on the "limitations" of the platform that at last check was the largest contingent of users. Perhaps the numbers have changed recently...
For me, I was getting ready to plop four or five more xboxes around the house just for xbmc, based on your porting of the Aeon/Auriga skin. Why on earth would I want to plop five HTPCs or ATVs around the house at an exponential cost if I don't require HD? Ok, so run Aeon on the HTPC in the theater and living room, then some other skin on the other xboxes, right? Well, that KILLS the user experience for the family.
Oh well, like I said before...instead of donating a chunk of cash now that I'm ready to jump in with both feet, I'm left wondering if another solution would be better for me. It really is a shame.
