Media Center in Windows 7

We Got Served posted the first screen shots of Windows 7's Media Center, and I'm not all that impressed. I don't really like the Zune typeface the new menu has for WMC, and it looks kinda like a throwback to XP's Media Center.
  • Start Menu, Blah... too Zuney
  • Gadget is Good
  • Mini Guide is too big, I like the smaller miniguide of Vista, less obtrusive
That said, the Music Wall is pretty cool, personally I hope they figure out a better way to integrate iTunes data into WMC. A lot of people use iTunes for iPod support, and if there was a way that people could view and listen to iTunes catalogged music via WMC, I think that would help wein people away from iTunes into WMC.
