    QuickPlay or Media Center; which is better and why?

    Can the QuickPlay button be set to open Media Center rather than QuickPlay?

    I only like Media Center because Quickplay doesn't provide the instant boot feature anymore in Vista.

    Windows Media Center because QuickPlay monkeys with the aspect ratios.

    I like Media center, but since only QuickPlay will play hi-def DVD content, the choice is a moot one.
