In case you missed it during the early days of Windows 8,
the era of the home theater PC (HTPC) is over—at least for Microsoft.
When Windows 10 rolls out this summer it will not be able to run Windows
Media Center, Microsoft's dedicated software for entertainment PCs.
With Windows 10, Microsoft
is finally letting go of the long-neglected dream of turning the PC
into a living room entertainment hub. The notion of connecting a PC to
your television always made a certain sense. With a PC running Media
Center you had access to all your stored digital media, you could watch
and record live television, and play a DVD all in one spot. That ignores
the pain of getting everything up and running, but once everything's
rocking and rolling, HTPCs work very well.

[so maybe I should get the Windows 7 laptop from Costco. or try to run XMBC (don't they know it's now called Kodi?) on Windows 10. That's my next project, try to Kodi running on my Windows 8 laptop.]
