Business Week. Inside Microsoft's Consumer Strategy:
The Extender product, which I use at home, is a great product and proves that integration can deliver great customer benefit.
Okay, so this isn't the most interesting quote from theinterview with XBox senior VP, Robbie Bach, but I wanted to point out that I was one of two eHome team members to visit his house and setup his Media Center and Extender :). As you'd expect he has an amazing home theatre setup.
So what is the most interesting quote?
A digital lifestyle is developing that incorporates things you do online with things you do with entertainment, with things you do with gaming, with things you do with music, movies, TV. As that all comes together, Xbox is certainly going to play an important role.

If you add a caller ID modem to your Media Center and can't get the caller id functionality in Media Center to work (so the notifications/toasts do not appear or if you don't see a caller id setting in Settings > Messenger and Caller ID) then you need to delete this registry key:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionMedia CenterService]
"UseTelephony"=dword:00000000
