10 Changes in Windows 7 Media Center

Windows Media Center was first introduced in a special edition of Windows XP, but it remained a niche product — in large part because the OS was available only to OEMs. The major hardware vendors marketed media center PCs, but they didn’t always implement them well, and prices were generally much higher than a comparable Windows XP Home or Pro computer.

With Vista, Microsoft decided to include the Media Center application in the Home Premium and Ultimate editions of the operating system. Consequently, many more people were exposed to this feature, and it has gained considerably in popularity.

Windows 7 keeps WMC and adds it to the Business and Enterprise editions, as well (although IT administrators can easily turn off the feature, which may not be desirable in a business environment). In addition, Microsoft has made a number of changes to WMC in Windows 7, giving it a different look and adding some new functionality. Let’s look at the top 10 changes.

  1. Launch WMC tasks from the Start menu
  2. WMC desktop gadget
  3. Internet TV
  4. Music cover art background display
  5. Play games through WMC
  6. New detailed Guide information
  7. Music and Picture Favorites
  8. New look for Pictures Browser
  9. Slide show creator
  10. For sports fans
