With that said Vista MCE is much more robust than the
previous versions. I would feel very comfortable giving
say a Niveus Media box to a client to store, organize,
and retrieve digital content.
I wish I could agree with you, but after having run Vista MCE in my own home since Nov, I would be extremely uncomfortable selling a Vista MCE box to a client. Still far too many stability/usability issues...granted, this is an HP DEC box, not Niveus, but it seems unlikely to me that the latter would resolve these issues. And yes, I do have said box optimized/tweaked (I'm an IT guy, working w/win32 for 10+ years).

Tiippy-Tie, MCE and Windows XP are not the same in terms
of reliability. Most of the companies that your most
likely speaking of using XP are actually using XP Embedded.
Even Crestron uses XP Embedded. XP Embedded can be a
very stable platform.
This I can agree with - in fact, I'd take it one step further and say the "Windows XP - when properly optimized/configured - can be a _very_ stable platform.
