According to the Microsoft Website, they are currently discontinuing on the Plus! Pack at the moment, however, it looks as if Microsoft was going to add more functionality to Windows Home Basic because, millions of it's customer's have been asking for it, and were even asking for it in XP Home and regular Pro. For Example: Media Center; Apparently, there has always been away to add Media Center 2005 to non-Media Center versions of XP and 2003. It was just that, until a few years ago, only Microsoft Technical people knew this, and once it was leaked (Check out this information on The Green Button Community: http://thegreenbutton.com/forums/post/18937.aspx), it actually infuriated the public including and especially those that paid almost $400.00 to get the Media Center Edition OS from Microsoft (it only came in a full version and no-upgrade edition). It comes as no surprise to me that Microsoft would include that in a Plus! Pack (for only $40) before the secret of Media Center 2007 was leaked. And, that's just a small example. There was alot of other things that Microsoft did that pissed off the public with Windows XP and are still doing actually, so, this Plus! Pack (maybe even Service Pack 1) may actually be a way of Microsoft actually pre-emptively appeasing it's public audience before all their secrets are leaked.
The new FiOS HD DVR, arguably the biggest update since Verizon released a DVR, thanks to its external storage support, enhanced multi-room functionality and slick new 16x9 HD user interface.
