Hi Don,

I have been using 2005 for a short while now.

I appear to have instabilities when viewing movies / TV, but I think
that is down to a failing fan on my graphics card, which reminds me,
I will have to go buy a new one now :-(

Anyway, I have placed a touch screen on one of the displays that runs
off the host system in the kitchen.

But the MCE front end does not seem entirely suited to a touch screen
interface.

Does anyone know if it can be "skinned" for better touch screen
intergration?
