Just picked up on this thread and I too would like to give my opinion. I am an end user and have not used my 770 for anything except surfing the net. I guess that is what is intended. Anyway, I have said before that I don't want to learn Linux and find it impossible to install any other software that I occasionally see mentioned on this site. Friends ask about my 770 and I tell them it is too complicated for their use. For Christmas, my son gave me an Xbox 360 with HD DVD drive and it was a snap to use. I just think the device is a techy gizmo and isn't ready for the general public.
