A complete video of the Apple TV interface, recorded at Macworld Expo by iLounge.com, the leading iPod, iTunes, and iPhone web site. Apple TV was formerly known as iTV.
Media Centre comes in a computer and is for nerds, this is for everyone else. It's basically an iPod for your TV, media centre is not. Besides this interface is much cooler than Media Centre's in person, and I've seen both in action - thanks for playin'.
If you ask me and most people the Media Center UI is as easy as pie. I guess Apple TV is too. Not many people really care about the remote. Having more buttons, could also give faster access to commands. It really depends on where you buy your remote from. Media Center seems to have as much simplicity as Apple. I guess Apple TV is nice, but Media Center is something that MS can say they made first and did great with. Apple TV just seems to be subpar after all I've seen.
Well, I think that Media Center isn't so simple and easy to use as Apple TV. Look at the remote control, Apple Remote has 5 buttons. Media Center remote control - too many buttons. Menus are also so different between those two systems, Apple has clear and simple menus. But, Media Center is good, if u get used to it, it has some great and good looking features. I just like Apple more, I love simplicity.
@simonsaunders2006 new apple tv lets you use your iphone as a remote, and watch videos from the said iphone. All kinds of badass
