Re: Microsoft wake up to X-Box potential ?

["Dean Smith" <ukha@xxxxxxx>]

Although I hadnt seen the freezing issue (I'm still in the early days of
actually using it) I set Relax up last night. Not sure I fully understand
the relationship between some of the Reax config and the XBMP config, but I
do have it all up and working.

Moving directories is considerably faster than using the SMB code in XBMP.
A
few days ago I had tried the latest build of XBMC (with the ported SAMBA
code) and that if anything is even slower than XBMP.

Given I have my files already shared from a Win2K server its annoying to
have to have yet another "server" app running sharing the same
files - but I
think the access speed increase alone is probably worth it.
