I’m just throwing my top 3 “Missing in Action” plugins for vista (MCML).
[b]Weather[/b]
Big screen weather look great , but it displays weather only for Australia.

[b]Netflix[/b]
Stumbled upon this Netflix plugin for Vista a while back. Still no word.

[b]TV Series[/b]
Big Screen TV Series is on hold, looking for a good (legal) meta-data source. There are currently 2 other similar apps in progress. I’m currently testing the early-beta version of “TV Library”, see below.
=============================
Andy C is currently retooling his very useful “My TV Shows” MCE2005 plugin to work with Vista Media Center. This new version is called “TV Library” and appears under the VMC “TV + Movies” menu upon installation.
The addon is like the popular My Movies plugin, but dedicated to organizing your TV series recordings and meta-data rather than DVD media. For video formats which do not hold meta-data, video info is stored in custom xml files.
With Big Screen TV Shows not launching any time soon, this may be a welcome replacement.
The early beta (alpha?) has a smooth MCML interface and is very functional thus far.
Check out Andy’s thread at [url=http://thegreenbutton.com/forums/4/144287/ShowThread.aspx]http://thegreenbutton.com/forums/4/144287/ShowThread.aspx[/url] and let him know what you think.
