The D-Link interface is perfectly usable, but did you really believe that a PC owner is going to switch to a Mac platform because Apple TV has a nicer interface? And, the D-Link box is just one of many such devices for Windows (and they have a new draft-N box, too).


iLife apps are nice, but worry not because Windows users are making due just fine without them.

In what ways is Apple TV different than something like D-Link's DSM-520? No Media Center PC required.

Uhhhhhh.

The user interface and integration with the Apple iLife apps that don't run on PCs, like iPhoto, iWeb, iMovie and iDVD.

By the way, the D-link product requires a Windows PC to act as the server, has no internal hard drive, and does not have 802.11n support. But it does support a wider range of codecs.

I can't tell anything from the link about the user interface software.
