23.1.2009 Microsoft Xbox 360 Media Center Extender
The Xbox nation can't play games round the clock. ("Wanna bet?" someone's already saying.) For those other times, the new Microsoft Xbox 360 offers the ability to stream, in high-definition video and surround-sound audio, all manner of music, photo and video files, TV, and recorded TV, from a Media Center Edition PC located elsewhere in the house. It's a nice benefit if you're already buying Xbox 360. But Microsoft stopped one decent remote control and a couple features shy of making media streaming a killer side benefit of its second-generation Xbox.

17.11.2007At last, a bridge between Windows Home Server and Media Center
With this week's release of Power Pack 2 for Home Server, Microsoft is filling a very important gap. Up until recently, the company had been
maintaining that the place for users to store videos and multimedia was on their Media Center computers (generally Windows Vista Ultimate-based
systems), and the place for their "everyday files" was their Home Server. But the biggest and most cumbersome "everyday files" are multimedia
files, including those that deserve to be streamed and accessed by Media Center. While setting up Media Center to include a Home Server folder as one
of its "watch folders" is one option for getting files listed, that's not as rich as setting up a streaming connection...

Microsoft Launches New Online Resource for Nonprofit Groups
Microsoft Corp. today announced the global availability of NGO Connection, a new online resource for thousands of nonprofit groups around the world.
Driven by feedback from nonprofit partners and years of experience working with nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), the online resource is designed
to assist NGOs to more efficiently use technology to achieve their goals as well as to encourage networking and coordination of NGO resources across
the world.
The primary goal of the new online resource is to provide a convenient and easy one-stop shop for technology

Connection endeavors to make it easier for NGOs to access the complete range of Microsoft resources and offerings, and help them effectively use other
online resources for nonprofit groups. NGO Connection also will be localized into Arabic, French, German, International English, Russian and Spanish
in the coming months, bringing the resources of NGO Connection to an even wider audience of NGOs.
