I thought this was pretty cool...

If you are in the USA launch Windows Media Center > TV + Movies > Internet TV > Top Picks > Super Bowl Ads.

I thought the Bridgestone ad with Alice Cooper and Richard Simmons cameos was pretty funny.

I cannot get video to stream in VMC's Internet TV feature. Sometimes I'll get the ad, but usually the video buffers endlessly after the first few frames. I thought it must be a problem with my network connection, but I saw the same problem on two different friend's machines on different ISPs. Is there a known issue with the quality of service for this feature?

Why is this a US only feature, why limit the ad exposure?

Sigh, US only...

Microsoft, please work harder at getting most US only features to the rest of the world. You are usually a leader in global software and services. Media Center is the big exception.
I know this is mostly because of content providers and licesing.

Looking forward to the rumoured big update this year. I expect most missing modern features to be included. Otherwise there will be a big user decline...

Jack, Perry, ak, why get mad at MS, get mad at other companies that aren't even doing this on a small scale. And why should MS care about you puny countries.
