Embedded MCE would have given them a red-button framwork, a streaming framework, Silverlight & Flash compatibility and a sexy sexy guide. But probably not the help with the integration that TiVO have given, so greater cost to VM. Plus, MCE embedded was only announced this Jan. Tivo was already in the homes of triallists by then.
Yep all true but like you say "xbox extender" and "gorgeous UI". Also I'm guessing embedded would bring the reliability. TiVo is a better fit but I do wish it had the MCE UI.
