You can't surf very far on the Internet without hearing the now ubiquitous term "Home Theater PC" or HTPC for short bandied about. But what exactly is a Home Theater PC?
Ultimately I think we have to blame Bill Gates and his visions of multimedia convergence, whether his operating system was properly equipped to cope or not.
One definition I dug out for HTPC was "The HTPC may take the place of a CD player, DVD player, deinterlacer, or Personal video recorder. An HTPC is often connected to an HDTV rather than a traditional Computer display. One of the primary advantages of an HTPC is that the video output is progressive scan and much higher resolution than standard definition television."
