Windows XP (or Vista) MCE

    - YouTube:
        - http://www.push-a-button.com.au/products/mce/Yougle.php
    - iTunes:
        - http://thegreenbutton.com/blogs/chris_blog/archive/2006/10/28/146619.aspx  (but it costs $15)
    - TV/RSS/Torrent:
        - supposedly http://aufero.blogspot.com/,  but that's in pre-alpha
        - sorta http://httpcode.com/archive/posts/940.aspx, though isn't at all RSS-TV oriented
    - DVD-from-HDD:
        - XP MCE does this by default, Vista can be tweaked to it: http://apcmag.com/6488/how_to_play_ripped_dvds_on_vista
                    (how does the DVD-browsing work exactly?)
        - wow...  much better plugin: http://mobilewares.spaces.live.com/?_c11_BlogPart_blogpart=blogview&_c=BlogPart&partqs=cat%3dBig%2bScreen%2bProducts
    - NetRadio
    - MAME/etc
        - http://www.tomspeirs.com/gameex/
    - RSS comics
        - not anymore...  http://mcesoft.nl/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=89&Itemid=2
        - surely there's *SOME* rss support remaining though?  And graphical RSS support doesn't
          violate any laws (not that the above did either).  And once you have graphical RSS, you
          have everything you need.

            - http://mcerssreader.oabsoftware.nl/   does that do it?  no screenshots to be able to tell :(
