That would be competing with xbox360 and ps3, which do everything that the apple TV is doing and much much more. I don't think it likely Apple will pay any attention to the AppleTV platform, its a dud.

We started a transition from XP to windows 7,for staff. and after the dramatic drop in support calls, the gained speed, and the general approval of users many of which are natives of Apple, our only problem is that we are not doing the tran
