converting everything to quicktime is a cop out. It's like locking you into itunes with the ipod. Why didn't they just make a real product capable of playing any video format on the planet like the netgear video player? (it's rhetorical, I know it's to make a cheaper player and lock you into quicktime).
On a somewhat related note, quicktime never works on my clean installation of winXP (pick any of the three computers). The visual doesn't show, it just plays the audio. My love (hate) for quicktime keeps me away from the AppleTV. I might otherwise have looked into it.
“Getting too close completely blurred what we saw to the point of incomprehension, but again, this shows a whole heap of potential that's fascinating to us.”

do you think MS has a vested interest causing QT to perform poorly on a Windows box. Buy a MacBook Pro and be done with MS.
