Windows Vista to Include Media Center Edition Client as Standard?
Posted by Jason Dunn in "NEWS" @ 12:00 AM
"We spent some time talking to Microsoft about Media Centre and X360. We've got good news, and even better news if you are planning to upgrade to VISTA. Currently, X360 will run a Media Centre environment and, while this will need you to install some special PC tools on your Media Centre, setup is simple. The difference from it being a normal Media Centre is that the X360 uses some of its processing power to render the Media Centre Screens - so it feels as if you are actually using a Media Centre. The biggest news which we have heard is that when Windows Vista ships it will be Media Centre enabled as standard. This will also be able to talk to X360 and the environment will change."
Now that's an interesting bit of news! I've been told that the Xbox 360 will function as a Windows Media Connect device for those people who don't already have a Windows Media Center computer, but this news of Vista coming with the MCE client software makes that irrelevant come end of 2006. Very cool news!
