I only use this device as a Media Center Extender. I was of course very disappointed when firmware 1.02 came out, and MKV[1] still did not work in MCE mode. I repeatedly complained, and was always told that there is a limitation in the Media Center Extender specs that prevents MKV from working. Frankly, I never really believed this because there's no reason that MP4 Video would work (But they do) and not MKV, since both containers typically contain the same audio/video streams and neither is natively supported by Vista. And If so, it push me to find a solution on Converting MKV to MP4 format.
When Windows 7 beta (and then RC) was released, I installed each on my computer and did some testing. Of course, I was sorely disappointed that MKV is still not natively supported by Windows. But, we MKV users now have a White Knight to help fight our battles: DivX. Their new "DivX Plus" setup uses MKV as a container. Now, with Vista, when you install DivX it installs an MKV splitter, and H.264 with AAC codecs. Windows 7 is a different story, however, because it already has H.264/AAC codecs (and because it uses Media Foundation instead of DirectShow).
And now, when I rip my own Blu-ray movie to MKV format, or help my friend convert them AVCHD M2TS footage to MKV file, then I can easily playback these MKV output on my Windows 7, besides no Free MKV Codec Download involved.
