I just wish Microsoft would confirm if they intend to offer the old WMC with Windows 10 as soon as possible, rather than waiting until the last minute to make the announcement one way or the other. As nice as it is to have the ability to continue using WMC with the new Windows OS and legacy devices, it would be much better if developers of new devices knew ahead of time, so that they could justify continuing support for WMC in their new devices and drivers.
As most here know, Hauppauge's HD PVR 2 lineup does not support WMC because they assumed that WMC would die off with the adoption of Windows 8 (as originally, WMC was not going to be offered to Windows 8 users). Hauppauge recently announced the release of the Colussus 2 capture card, which uses the same encoder as the HD PVR 2. Because it likely uses the same drivers as the HD PVR 2, I strongly suspect that it won't work with WMC, either. It would be nice if they knew the fate of WMC now, as that might allow them to build WMC support into the next generation of capture devices (presumably the HD PVR 3). It would be nice to have a device that could capture 1080p and work with WMC. Even if the content you are using WMC to record is limited to 1080i/720p, there are people who would like to capture 1080p from gaming consoles AND use WMC to record from their set top boxes. Currently, you would need two capture devices to do that...the original HD PVR/Colossus for your WMC setup and a newer capture device for your gaming setup.
