I don't know if it is because I'm used to TiVo, having used it for 5+ years, and the SB is still new to me - since I got it in February, but I'm a little more giddy over the SB. :-) I think that might be the 'new toy' aspect.

Everyone I know hates Vista, and a lot of those people hate it for the 'locked down' feel. Now, we can go over the merits and demerits of the S3 being locked tighter than a drum, and in fact have, not only in this community but in others, and in newsgroups, and in other webforums, and so on and so on. Ad nauseam indeed. However, at the end of the day, it will all boil down to the SB lets you watch TV anywhere you want (with a broadband connection) whereas the S3 won't even let you move video to your portable device, be that a video ipod or notebook...let alone send it to your computer at work/hotel/whatever.It IS a close contest, and rightly so. But if we're honest with ourselves, S3 really should earn (a very well-deserved, don't get me wrong) second place out of the list given.
