While Media Center Markup Language is very powerful for developers, it does have a steep learning curve so I was impressed to find a project Steven Harding is working on (with help from top Media Center developer Nial Ginsbourg)

Its a projet called MCMLLookalike, an Open Source library of Media Center Markup Language code that emulates the look and feel of Vista Media Center. So its a great starting point for a new project especially as its a full Visual Studio project with installer code as well.

Thanks to Nial for the tip off
