Agreed. While it's nice that they are capable of doing a lot of this stuff, that doesn't mean they are optimal for it.

At the end of the day - I use my desktop for the vast majority of my work. You can't beat a big, easy to read monitor and a full size keyboard for typing on.

I don't know. I honestly like the idea of having a central hub in the home a lot more than trusting a third party.

IMHO, they should be working on making it easier to access the home computer and use it as a central sync location.
