Thanks for the link!
It's about time Microsoft is doing something about Windows mediacentre!
the current version is far from up to date, hope this will be a good version with supporting full HD etc.

We have to wait about 1 year...

Full HD on MCE is not easy to configure you need third party software.

Since last week I have Full HD TV with some HD channels this is just WOW.

But they are going to support DVB-C, DVB-S DVB-T and codecs like H264 AAC etc. big improvement.
Also got 'Homegroup' system to make sharing in between computers even easier.
But it is MS, they promise a lot, but delivery is always a surprise....

There is no standard..
