Thanks. I updated my HP MediaSmart EX485 a little while ago.

Installing as we speak! Thanks for the head's up!

Install went well with no issues. Automatically updated all WHS connectors on all client PCs on network...even 64 bit clients.

It's nice to see MS start to integrate Windows Media Center into WHS. Still not fully integrated with this power pack but definately a move in the right direction. My suspicsion is that we'll see full WMC integration into WHS when next version of WHS (Vail) is released in 2010.

I was going to update mine today and it had already updated overnight. I like the media center app.
