Media Moguls This year's Media Center models will change that by exploiting the PC's speed, its vast storage capacity, and the ease with which it can be linked with home networks. In short, the entertainment features are finally demonstrating their worth, making the Media Center the most radical makeover of the PC since the arrival of Windows 95 a decade ago. HP was one of the first PC makers to offer a Media Center two years ago, but it went back to the drawing board this year. www.businessweek.com /magazine/content/04_45/b3907415.htm   (142 words)

Paul Thurrott's SuperSite for Windows: Windows XP Media Center Edition reviewed And that, really, is the overall problem with XP Media Center: Too often, the underlying OS peeks through, which can be off-putting when you're sitting on the couch holding a remote (though I did end up purchasing a wireless keyboard and mouse for the media center PC as well). Because the media center PC is a PC, you get all that a modern Windows XP PC has to offer: Almost infinite expandability and software compatibility, a gorgeous user interface, and ways to elegantly access XP's excellent digital media features. Which is to say, I've been using a prototype HP media center PC in my living room, attached to a 48" rear projection TV set; it's not used like a computer, but rather as a combination TiVo, video game machine, and DVD player. www.winsupersite.com /reviews/windowsxp_mediacenter.asp   (4282 words)

Because the media center PC is a PC, you get all that a modern Windows XP PC has to offer: Almost infinite expandability and software compatibility, a gorgeous user interface, and ways to elegantly access XP's excellent digital media features. By default, Media Center considers a series to be first run and reruns on that channel only, but you can change this through the Recorded TV interface (Figure). www.winsupersite.com /reviews/windowsxp_mediacenter.asp   (4282 words)

Engadget Okoro Media Systems has just released a low-profile, reasonably priced home theater PC based on Intel's Core Duo processor that has also received the coveted VIIV seal of approval, which we're still not exactly sure about, but whose very existence makes us scared of buying any products without this enigmatic certification. For those of you still scratching your heads over what exactly you might use a $700 UMPC for, Microsoft is working on a version of Media Center Extender software to allow you to touchscreen your way through TV, music, home automation, or whatever you use your Media Center PC for. The new pyramid-shaped Prysma Media Center PC from game PC manufacturer Maingear has support for the Viiv spec, and though the $1752 base configuration has a mere 512MB of RAM, 80GB HDD, and integrated graphics, there's plenty of room to grow. mediapcs.engadget.com   (4517 words)

PCWorld.com - New Media Center OS Plays Well Microsoft's new Windows XP Media Center 2005 operating system has new features that help a PC compete with consumer electronics devices in the living room, and that turn a PC into a home server capable of feeding audio and video to multiple devices on a wireless network. We found virtually no difference: With Media Center, the PC had a WorldBench 5 score of 81, while with Windows XP Home its score was 82, close enough for us to call it a wash. To see whether the new OS hurts performance, we ran WorldBench 5 on a Media Center 2005 system, and then reran the benchmark on the same PC but with Windows XP Home (and the latest component drivers) installed. www.pcworld.com /news/article/0,aid,118364,00.asp   (530 words)

G-129 PC LAN CONNECTIVITY TECHNOLOGY PC LANS that are supported by non-fiber media, such as copper wire and co-ax still dominate the markets. By limiting the media to the segment used within a building to connect nodes to servers, the demand for media can be quantified to a considerable degree of accuracy. Taking advantage of the developments in the network technology, especially the techniques that enable speedier transmission of data, the PC LAN industry has managed to match it with the overall developments in PC technology - such as increased memory and faster processing in each PC. www.buscom.com /archive/G129.html   (330 words)

HP's Next Digital Media Product - Forbes.com HP's new device is the called the Digital Media Receiver 5000 and it uses a wireless networking connection based on Wi-Fi technology to bridge the gap that exists between the PC and the entertainment center. And one application several manufacturers are focusing on is the relatively straightforward task of moving digital media stored on a PC over to traditional audio-visual consumer electronics such as the TV and home stereo. The predominance of homes with more than one PC as well as the popularity of digital media and entertainment is what is going to drive it. www.forbes.com /2003/01/10/cx_ah_0110tentech.html   (504 words)

Software for Media Moguls If your Media Center PC comes with a radio tuner card (only some do, which is too bad; it's a terrific feature), you can pause, rewind or listen to a seven-second replay of a live broadcast. (You can't install Windows XP Media Center on a PC that didn't come with it, although you can upgrade an original Media Center with this year's software.) Simple on-screen buttons, still bearing the juvenile labels My TV, My Videos, My Pictures and so on, provide easy on-ramps to your entertainment collection. The concept is the same: the 2004 edition comes installed on certain new PC models - from Hewlett-Packard, Dell, Gateway, Sony, Toshiba and others - that have been equipped with the horsepower needed for smooth TV recording and playback, including fast processors, copious memory and gigantic hard drives. www.nytimes.com /2003/10/02/technology/circuits/02stat.html?ei=5007&en=7e8235753f5f6730&ex=1380427200&adxnnl=6&partner=USERLAND&adxnnlx=1100336831-QqKsdPkbJMcp4fEzG7/9mw   (504 words)

IGN: CES 2004: Xbox Media Center Announced When combined with a Media Center enabled PC and a wireless connection, the Extender Kit lets Xbox owners easily transmit and access entertainment data stored on their PCs on the console. In practice, this means one user can watch TV on the Media Center PC in the living room, while another watches a recorded movie using the Xbox Media Center Extender Kit in another room. The Xbox was also prominently featured in a funny take on Microsoft's "Office" commercials, where a group of engineers led by Bill Gates himself celebrated the successful linking of a PC, an Xbox, and a toaster for the ultimate home connectivity network. xbox.ign.com /articles/461/461606p1.html   (558 words)

Paul Thurrott's SuperSite for Windows: Consumer Electronics Show 2004 Show Report and Photo Gallery Portable Media Center --a new generation of portable media devices, shipping this year from several companies, that will include the Media Center UI and will feature compatibility with all the digital-media formats that Media Center PCs can consume and generate, including recorded TV. Microsoft's plan to have Windows Media Center Extender devices remotely use XP Media Center content (i.e., digital music, photos, movies, and recorded TV) is a good strategy that will nicely obviate the one huge complaint I have with Media Center PCs--they're too obtrusive in rooms such as the den. With a Media Center PC running Windows XP Media Center Edition (MCE) 2004 connected to a TV signal in the home office, you'll soon be able to pump content from that PC to other devices around the home. www.winsupersite.com /reviews/ces04.asp   (558 words)
