What are the new features of Media Center 19? I think is a good idea to know before we upgrade..
I hope that can provide support for BD menues!

We have no list yet.

To answer CountryBumpkin's post, it is my opinion that we have a very good position in audio, but our position in video, HTPC, TV, and home networking is just outside the market's attention.  It's there that we need to focus this version.  Sonos and Airplay are nice, but MC has a lot more capability if we can polish and smooth the rough edges.

But this is now Matt's decision to make.  Send him your chicks, puppies, and kittens.

Doesn't seem quite right. You would think you could have updates for a year before needing to buy a new license. I am going to upgrade because I saw how quick 17 was dropped when 18 came out so you really want to upgrade, but it seems like upgrading in less than a year is not quite right. Just my opinion, I am happy with v18 but I definitely want too get updated features, even if you can't give a roadmap of what you plan on putting in 19.

You don't need to upgrade.  MC18 is perfectly fine.  It also will probably be several more months before MC19 is a better overall experience than MC18.

A suggestion you might want to consider for next time in the quest to ever improve customer warm and fuzzy feelings (as an alternative to sending them baby chicks) :) 

Don't entice customers to purchase an "old" license (MC18) with a $5 discount, approx. 30 days (http://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?topic=80793.0) before offering a license for a new version (MC19).  As small as the difference is, it just rubs the wrong way to pay $44.98 (MC18 discount price) + $18.98 (MC19 discount upgrade price) = $63.96 to get a MC19 license that is $49.98 (list price) 30 days later if one didn't have a need to purchase and use MC at the time of the late May promotion and was encouraged to do so by a promotion. 

Just my 2c :)

Wow, seems like a lot of folks are jumping through hoops to pay for this update without any hints as to what new features to expect...  ?
