Can someone say: 'Steambox (console) incoming'?

That was my first thought, anyhow. What about yours?

Captcha: give or take

...sounds about right.

PS. And ATM it's slow as hell. Oh, and it looks like the illegitimate child of an one night stand between iTunes and the Xbox dashboard. (Which isn't necessarily a bad thing :)

Been using it every now and then for a while, not really something I'll use often but the text daisy is really cool

I was just trying it out, and it's actually really nice (aside from the fact that it's kinda slow at the moment). But, I really have no use for it, because if I'm hooking my laptop up to my TV to play a game, it's faster for me to just do all the stuff on the regular UI. On the other hand, this did get me to try hooking my computer up to my TV, which was a lot of fun, and I'll have to do it more often.

Hooking a computer up to a TV is nothing new... You've been able to do that for a long time.

So what is exactly accomplished by "big picture"? The controller? A more TV-friendly UI?

Help me understand.

Pretty much that. It's a more TV and controller-friendly UI. It's very, very pretty.
