Do you every think M$ will make a browser without WMC being involved? It would be a pretty nice feature. A little worthless but cool.

a little worthless.......right. I think a ton of people would dissagree with ya on that one. Personally I'd like to pop up a porn site at 1080 dpi!!!! :-D

Im sure people have thought of using this as a hole, but has anyone tried putting in one of those explorer boxes that shows the contents of ur C: or something? I remember seeing one on a website trying to convince me that my computer was vulnerable.

If we got one of those going we could see files on the various drives of the 360, unless it only showed the PC drives as the 360 is just a terminal.

Anyway, just an idea

Well is the MCE any different compatibility and performance wise from normal windows xp?

I got XP pro at the moment, if i did get MCE would it perform or run differently?

!!!! Working Browser on XBOX360 !!!!!

In doing research to write an app that allows web browsing I found someone who already done it.

It is called MCE Browser. The software is freely given by the developer.

http://www.anpark.com/software.aspx

It take a little getting used to but it works!

It comes with a favorites list which I imagine is customizable...I will look into it later.

You CAN "tab" between links with the remote (I used the one that is puchased seperately with the keypad. I will try the media one later.)

Basically, you start at a site. Push the down arrow to select the site. Click "ok" to lock the site. Now you can scroll the page with arrows or tab links with the ch/pg button. Hit enter to follow the link.

To unlock the site hit "back" once, then you can use the location (favorites), back, forward, stop, zoom, etc.

Look like its built with js, vbs, and ocx.

Can't wait to see what I can learn...

NOTE: I did NOT make it. I just found it so please give credit where credit is due.

Enjoy.

What we really need is some way to be able to use a USB keyboard while in the Media Center on the 360.
