Actually, figures out from Forrester on European use of social networking sites suggests that Germany's and France's use is quite low when compared to other countries like the UK and Sweden.
Apple TV uses an Intel integrated graphics chipset that is also used on Windows laptops.
The word from Vista users with these laptops is that it is capable of the nice Aero glass look, but has to work hard. HD is slow and not worth while.
With this in mind, I decided Apple TV just wasn't worth looking at. The price point is good, and yes, you can probably hack it to do DIVX/XVID/etc, but I could do without the headache. Give me native true HD support and not Apple's mpeg-4 pretend HD.
