MCE at 14 million units
Todd at the Seattle PI has a quote from senior executive Robbie Bach in his blog post Microsoft explains its Zune strategy about the number of MCE units sold:
We have Media Center with over 14 million units and growing around the world.

But only because the license is nearly the same price as a Home edition.
I would rather see some statistics on how many homes actually uses Media Center as the center entertainment system it’s supposed to be.
My guess is that it’s actually a very low number compared to the units shipped.
[...] With respect to my post today re: Slate on “The Myth of the Living-Room PC” I was sent a note via the blog email feature, reminding me of Matt Goyer’s Media Center blog and his post noting that MCE is now at 14 million units. (Matt points to an interview in the Seattle PI with Robbie Bach, in which he updates that “we have Media Center with over 14 million units and growing around the world.”) I enjoy Matt’s blog and would like to say thanks to Jennifer for the pointer.
