What's the advantage of MCE over XBMC

One of the com...

(640x480 - NTSC - Focus - TV) on second thought ... forget it. denial works for me sometimes too. I never really use gentoox anyway. It was more of a hobby plaything thing anyway - turned out less fun more work than it was worth. I find it rather limited, constrained by xbox usb adapters, case size...
