This is really exciting!

But there are some real practical issues/limitations which I still am yet to understand!
Now I’m not going to rant about the limitations of TVs… PC users are already feeling the dumbed down from 1920/1200 to the 1920/1080 issue already. its funny when “fullHD” isn’t really full… And anything that’s not to “their liking” is “ultra” but we don’t talk about that!

What my concern is with this is 2 fold.
I don’t want to move my monster powerful gaming box to the living room! Nor do I want a Media PC. Why? Well 1st I have a study and that’s where my PC belongs outside the reach of the kids/doesn’t effect the wife watching tv…. It’s also NOT portable by any stretch of the imagination. Secondly. I don’t want a media PC because I can’t afford one, and there a cheaper alternatives to stream media to the TV. I don’t want another control/device in the living room for the children to jam a matchbox car into and the mucking about with the “Xbox media center” no thanks (but that will be 1 issue that steamOS might fix)

So I have a few questions and thoughts!
Can I use a cable to mirror my PC to the tv?
Do I have to have a Media PC? (I think this is the case – otherwise how would an OS work)

So while I’m excited about the functionality I’m dubious that its for me…
Also if I wanted a console. I’d buy a console… I just want to play my PC on a big screen!
I’m interested tho ro, keep us informed!
