Windows 7 Media Center Review

Engadget: We've been waiting a long time for this and it's finally here, the latest version of Windows Media Center. Well, we really stopped waiting a few months ago when the release candidate hit, but waited on composing our thoughts until after we had a chance to play with the RTM copy. For the most part, as you'd expect the RTM build is identical to the RC, sans the bugs, but there are plenty of upgrades over Vista Media Center. Many of these new features were also in the TV Pack, but in our book that doesn't count. For starters it was OEM only, and thus you could only get it (legitimately) by buying a new PC, but the real reason is because it was so buggy, it was beyond usable. In fact we still stand by the theory that the TV Pack was nothing more than an early preview for OEMs of the new guts of Windows 7 Media Center. Gladly that is all behind us now, so keep reading to find out what gets us excited about Windows 7 Media Center...

Google gets rid of StarOffice from pack download

Everyone needs an Office Product on their computer and when Google added StarOffice to their free Google Pack it was a good move but in the last few weeks they have quietly, without any word, removed it from the download.

The Google Pack is a set of programs that is aimed to give users everything they need to have on their computer for example it features Spyware Doctor, Norton Security Scan and Adobe Reader, but this move by Google will not help Sun Microsystems.

Sun Microsystems who develop Star Office have not had a good year, last month they announced a loss of $1.7 billion, when asked Sun Microsystems Chief Executive Jonathan I. Schwartz put it down to the weakness in the economy. This move by Google could be seen as another step towards making everything that we need to use productively online, they already feature a Document and Spreadsheet Service.

At the time of writing this article, Google have not released an official statement.

Mano a mano: Apple TV vs. the Xbox 360

Jonathan M. Gitlin: Previously, I looked at the Apple TV in isolation, to see how it fits
as a digital hub. Apple isn't the only company that wants to have its
device at the center of your home entertainment though, nor the only
ones who want its storefront to be the one you use to download TV and
movies. So in this next installment, I shall compare the Apple TV to
what I think will be its closest rival, the Microsoft Xbox 360.
Yes, you read that right. I am going to compare a game console with
the Apple TV, but the comparison is not as far fetched as you might think. Both have
storefronts where you can download TV episodes and movies. Both will
rent you content in both HD and SD, and both will let you stream your
own media through them to your TV and speakers.

Apple TV vs. Vudu vs. Xbox 360: Video Download Battlemodo

Wilson Rothman: If you've been wondering how to compare the video-download options of Apple TV, Vudu and the Xbox 360, I think today is your lucky day.



A few weeks back, I wrote up a piece on Vudu's high-definition video falling short of my expectations. Today I bring you a more thorough report of the three most compelling set-top boxes and their video-download capabilities. Apple TV, Vudu and Xbox 360 all have a lot going for them, but by looking at them side-by-side, you can see how their makers are all taking different paths to get to the ultimate desired end. Dive into the chart, then have a look at the screengrabs from three movies, to really get a feel for the progress, or lack of progress, in the world of HD downloads.
