My problem with the HTPC is it was a full Windows stack so it included all the headaches of antivirus, updates, configuration, and UAC prompts required a keyboard be nearby. This was my main problem with an all-in-one HTPC. It was amazing when it worked, but my housemates didn't appreciate it for the 1% of the time when they couldn't watch TV because of a crash, or Windows Update.
