Doesn't mean you can't go buy it at a local computer store.  Getting
hardware that supports it is still tricky I guess.

Only $150 for the MCE OEM + $45 for the MS remote control.  Add a
supported tuner and away you go.  Assuming you wouldn't rather have
MythTV with a PVR250/350 card.

And you would think with the sales of Dell and HP there should be plenty
of the stupid things around.
