Good idea in theory
I use Media Centre for my live TV, have doen since XP media centre, and have some XBOX's connected as extenders. After upgrade from Win 7 the extenders no longer worked. A clean install only partially fixed this, in that they would connect, but once turned off would not reconnect without running through their setup again. If the "fisher price dumbed down my first Windows" Metro screen was compatible with a microsoft media centre remote control I might be able to be bothered to troubleshoot the Extender failures as the Netflix apps etc make is sound like a good idea for a media centre. In my experience however, only a good idea in theory, not practice. When explaining to my 7 year old about the problems he something that made me laugh and then cry because he was right "Daddy, if it worked before my did you pay to break it......." I reverted to Windows 7 and after using Windows 8 for nearly a month I feel like I have a new improved OS.
