Yeah, I can't wait. XBMC on Windows will be great. I can keep using all the apps I'm use to using and no need to reboot into linux when I want to run XBMC.

For anyone that is wondering, here's the main topic on it:

It'll probably get moved here eventually.

I'm definitely hoping this dev branch goes gangbusters... it will open up the possibilities to integrate with Vista SideShow applets, hardware, etc... VERY COOL possibilities that OSX & Linux don't have.

I dont think its nearly read for end-user discussion but I will say this.

I managed to install it on my laptop this evening to test out.

I had bad video issues. I upgraded to latest catalyst 8.2 suite is using mobililty modded drivers. All video issues are gone. Boy is this very fast. Played mkv without a hiccup.

Its nice to see it moving so far along.

I tested on CD T2500 /2gb 667ram and ati mobility 1600

What doesnt work for me.

NIC - XBMCSays its connected but there is no SMB mapping.
Cant access H or I p artitions. I think this must be in the xbmc exe. Didnt see anywhere i could map it in XBMC or xml files.

Audio works for movies, but not for shoutcast. Mp3s work.

Its so freekin smooth though. Very fast and well-tried media front end.

Im really looking forward to this.

CPU support under info says unknown. Video recognized though.

Im like winblows...no linux xbmc for me

Working on Vista 32

Thank you, thank you, thank! I've been working with the Linux build for a few months, but this is just so much easier for 90% of the public. Video playback works great (x264 mkv, xvid, divx, h264 mov etc) and once SMB and IR is supported, I think this will be 99% there for me. Time to FINALLY build an HTPC to replace my aging/tired Xbox. When playing back 1080p content, I noticed that all four cores were being utilized. I was under the impression that the current builds did not use any multi-core capability on playback? Is this new?

The MCE remote already works

At least on vista
