Last night I was struggling a bit with my old computer and it’s inability to boot properly due to my rabid pre-release software installations and consistent need to customize things. Then I got an email from Brandon about this new Rudeo Remote Control Software for Windows XP Media Center Edition PCs. This program sounds so great! I had sent a feature request to Microsoft a while ago requesting MCE integration and control via Bluetooth for Pocket PCs, yet it seems Rudeo Control has already accomplished such integration. So without hesitation and after a little research I ordered a new computer with Windows XP Media Center Edition 2004 custom configured at Cyberpowersystem.com. My home setup is already somewhat Media Center friendly, but a fully integrated system that I can control with my i-mate Phone Edition will be beautiful.
