Windows XP Media Center: Who needs it? Not me | |

Imagine having a PC that allows you to listen to music. And view your photos. And even record your favorite television programs. What? You can do all of that stuff right now? Oh yeah, that's right, you can. Which is part of the problem with Windows XP Media Center Edition, the latest enhancement to Microsoft's flagship OS. While Media Center adds some nifty user-interface enhancements, it doesn't enable you to do much that's truly new. In fact, the only significant addition--the ability to use your PC as a TiVo-like personal video recorder (PVR)--has long been available for Windows XP through third-party apps like SnapStream's Personal Video Station (ironically, SnapStream's one of Microsoft's Windows XP Launch Partners). | ||
