I can finally build my Media Center PC, well almost

Looks like I will be able to finally build a Media Center PC next year and have cable and HD content pipped directly to it. Microsoft and Cable Labs finally got it together to allow MCE to support cable cards. This was the final hurdle for me to adpot MCE as the hub for my house, I didn't want a bunch of receivers connected via IR blasters changing channels plus an HD receiver for over the air reception.

This will be very cool, and I bet we will see some really cool MCE PC's from OEM's as well as cable companies over the next year to support this announcement.
