The Microsoft Professional Developer Conference has been covering new features planned for Windows 7 and attendees have received an early version of the software for testing and feedback – so news and tidbits are leaking out onto the web. Last week many screen-shots were available to look at, but there wasn’t much in the way of real news for Windows 7 Media Center functionality. Now we’ve learned native H.264 support will be included on all Windows 7 Media Center products – PCs, extenders, and the Xbox 360. Beyond that, there are plenty of tweaks and UI enhancements plus the integration of TV Pack features into the retail software. My first impression is that additional QAM support (already in TV Pack) and H.264 support are the only non-visual updates to Media Center. Yes, the user interface is being improved further, but the deep-down below the surface workings don’t appear to be changing much from what you experience now.
I used to bee able too find good info from your blog posts.
