That's just for the plugin. The OS is another upgrade ontop of the pricing of XP.
Compared to the price of the hardware, the software is cheap (HTPC / projector / screen / wiring / speakers / amps / processors / room / blinds / lighting / media files / etc etc).
Probably $4k minimum to the sky's the limit ($100k+)

e,
If you write your plugin for it, I'll buy from you. (your's would probably be better anyway!)

Appearantly it also requires HS 1.7, so I am out anyways, there is no way I am going upgrade my machine after what happened last time with my 1.7 upgrade.
David, I understand that the plugin is cheap compared with the hardware found in most home theaters, but there are many people who use cheap components to get a taste of home theaters without having to spend thousands of dollars. I know that a lot of work went into that plugin, but they know that most of their '8000' customers are hobbyists, so it doesn't make sense to charge professional pricing.

If I do find the time to get it started again, it would be released for free, just like my other scripts/plugins/programs, I appreciate the thought tho. For the record, the guy that wrote this plugin really does know his stuff, and is a very nice guy, my issue is with HST's pricing policy, not the quality of the plugin.
Awe,
I remeber the time when free scripts were posted daily. And when they just started introducing plugins. There was always a intro price even for trouble WE do beta testing the product.
I don't mind paying for someone's work but start adding all the pricing up, WOW. There is no way I could ever install this stuff with a few plugins.
Just like Mainlobby guess their leaving hobbiest in the dust and going for the big guys.
Oh well I don't plan on getting media center or the plugin
