You have no idea what you are talking about...it is not aimed at people that don't have an HTPC, but the people who do and want a "better" interface. That being said, Yahoo Go! is not a better interface by any stretch.

Seeing as I had Meedio before it was taken by Yahoo and beaten into submission, I would like to comment on how it has changed and why it's useless. First, I preface all this by saying it is still labeled beta and unless they stripped out the customization code (which I highly doubt), it may find its way back in there. In that same breath however, I doubt that they will allow the type of customization Meedio allowed. Customization such as rearranging the menu, adding your own submenus, themes, customizing a certain screen of a theme, editing the library file dbs so you could manually add a field and then build a view to use in a theme. Beautiful things Meedio did. It had a USB-UIRT plugin that worked beautifully with my Harmony Remote and all was well.

Now Yahoo got their grubby paws on it and destroyed. Although the interface itself is indeed faster than Meedio was, the customization is completely gone and as was mentioned, it destroys some functionality.

NOTE: Those yucks at Yahoo must have left registry keys the same as Meedio because Go! destroyed my Meedio install so that I had to do a clean install, and even after that, my weather section is perpetually screwed (I have to find the key or something that is causing it to crash)

For all you out there....I am SURE now that Meedio has stopped releasing new versions, you will be able to find a hacked copy of Meedio out there. I suggest you do and try it out, you'll be impressed. I stress the urgency because the forums and the 3rd party plugin site is still up and running although I don't know for how long. http://www.meedio.com/MAID and http://www.meedio.com/forum.

Thanks for screwing up a good thing Yahoo!, yet another reason I will not touch your crap with a 12 foot pole.
