They assume that I want to pay money to do a less-than-pleasant activity, with a less-than pleasant piece of software.

They are wrong.

As it was it was adequate for showing my parents and in-laws certain things on the net. I don't have a 360, but hope to fix my PS3 and get a Wii U. Neither of which I have any plans for my parents or in-laws. They both have newer PCs than I now so that's not a problem other than them not being in the living room. Maybe one day we'll get a console that'll be able to be used as a living room display and gaming room system. In the mean time I expect PC to win in the media center unless the Wii U is more powerful, it's TV controls very expansive, and it's web browser to be up-to-date.

IE is better than ever, but I still prefer Chrome for most of my projects and Firefox for my daughter.

It must be a pain with the Xbox controller. And I can only assume Silverlight and no Flash.

The Wii and DSi browsers are pretty decent.
