Windows seems to work better as a media center PC. Streaming video to an 360 or a PS3 is really easy to setup with Windows and getting the hardware / codec's to work is simple.

Note: I have heard that Linux is getting better for this stuff but windows is cheep enough that I don't really care.

I use Connect360 (http://www.nullriver.com/products/connect360) for OSX->360 and I couldn't be happier. The only annoyance is that it won't stream drm'd content from the itunes store. I think that SUCKS. Otherwise, it couldn't be easier to use and it's quick and clean.

No connection to them other than I'm a happy customer ;)

Yep, it almost works but that just means it's only slightly broken.

My response has simply been: don't buy DRM'd content. Works 100% of the time ;)

Are there any legal options to buy non DRM'd Blu-ray content? I mean new 1080p movies?

I have a solution- Don't buy DRM'd content. Ever. And if you do, pirate a usable copy. I still prefer not buying it in the first place, as I don't want to support the notion of DRM.
