Tim Coyle has two interviews this week with bloggers who have thoroughly embraced Media Center.

Interview with Chris Lanier.

Of course I’m most interested in hearing about how we can improve. Chris’s suggestions are:

• More HDTV support - I want this too!
• My Music library improvements - Like what?
• ASIO - I dont’ know what this is?
• My Videos improvements (playlists, view by list, remove stopped full screen overlay) - I agree on all those but would prioritize view by list as pretty low (why do you want to view videos by list?). My improvement to My Videos would be Sort By Date would sort descending not ascending.
• Extender improvements - It’s a v1 product, give us another iteration or two to get it right :).

Interview with Thomas Hawk.

And Thomas’s suggestions for improvement are:

• Simplicity and stability considering that we are built on a PC platform
• Native cable/satellite support - Yeah, I want this too!
• Micro content - Pester MSN about this, they’re our content folks
• Compelling search, suggestive and ranking technology - I agree with us building search but would rather third parties like Amazon, Netflix and other experts in the collaborative filtering space provided this functionality. We just need to ensure they have a good platform to build on
• Build a team of editors to both find and organize this micro content for them - We’re a platform provider and I’d expect a third party to do this, not us. (Of course that third party could be MSN)
• Fix bugs - Yes, like that help documentation one :).
