I was having a very frustrating issue installing latest Flash on IE7/Vista and this fixed my issue. Why is there no link to the stand alone install on the auto-install page? Crazy... Anyway - thanks a lot! :) Bill Can’t seem to add comments on the post that brought me to your site – Installing Macromedia Flash Player for IE7 on Windows Vista – but just wanted to say thanks for that.

Upgrade the hd yourself to whatever size you want. I've used both a lot and, trust me, you'll never miss Media Center. Tivo has one _major_ advantage over Media Center besides the staggering price difference - it's _much_ more reliable. That MC "potential" has been out there for a long time and hadn't really been realized so the over-complexity of Media Center is hardly justified. (Same could be said for Smartphone, etc.) Tivo can stream from Rhapsody now. And although it can't play Need for Speed, it is the best Linux box implementation out there! Oh yea - You Tube videos. I'll grant you that is a very cool feature. And I'd _love_ to see it added to Tivo. But you can get a much better TV-oriented web navigation (and You Tube) experience from a Wii. :) Get all that and more with a Tivo for a fraction of the price (or free in many cases).
