I agee Jason. Microsoft's 360 implementation of streaming video support is as well thought out as Windows ME. It is not designed to be easy for users to steam media to the box, it is designed to force them to use certain microsoft products. Not even a upnp NAS server provides the ability to play all the 360' "supported" video containers/codecs. Try streaming MPEG2 from a upnp nas to an 360? Not going to happen! While if you have MCE this functionality is provided. Why the heck do I need another pc on to steam media to the 360? That is rediculous. Next you'll tell me to conveniantly hook up an external HD to the XBOX. My question is why should I have to?

Like Jason, I do not understand why Microsoft choses to make the 360 inferior by intentionally crippling it. Maybe they are afraid they would not have anything to offer in the future, or maybe they just don't care about the people that buy their products.
