Comparing Windows and Linux as a Media center
Im wondering if anyone has any ideas on what I can do for this. I have a project to compare the Windows OS and Linux OS as a media center. Topics discussed will be, applications used, compatability (programs supported), hardware compatability (video cards, sound cards supported etc), video/audio file formats and their usage and compatability, which is easier and better, gaming in both the Linux and Windows enviroment, performance wise, will show off different programs in both Windows and Linux, compare features and ease of use and come to a conclusion on which OS is better to be used for a Entertainment/Media user.
Not looking for answers here, just if anyone has any ideas on what to talk about.

Word of advice, make sure you have very well-defined criteria for what you call "easier" and what you call "better" (and that you make these public), as those are terms that have a very broad range of interpretation. ;)
I'm curious as to what you have found so far

Actually, the reverse is true, as I am curious to learn from you.
I'm curious to read what your views are, after your research, with respect to comparing the Windows OS and Linux OS as a media center.

I'm still curious to read what you have discovered so far. Any interesting links to offer, or is this a one-way information street?
Here is another link from the "linux world", in this case a guide on Doom9 of DVD specific multimedia applications (linux audio/video faq) for linux. Of course these are on the non-professional "freeware" side of the Linux "house".
