Maybe a matter of taste, but wow, this media center is really ... ugly. IMHO 3D doesn't really help here.

Don't let that 3d media center picture above fool you. Windows don't fly around in 3d. Its simply a horizontal circle of items like pictures, dvd, edit, etc, that spin around so you can choose your item. Nothing else is 3d. And in fact, I can't see how any of this can be done with a controller, the demos are using a mouse. And its ugly... ugh! its uuugggaalllyyyy!
