New Netflix for Windows 7

Thursday, September 10th, 2009

No the Windows 7 version of the Netflix Watch Instantly still isn’t going to work on Extenders for Media Center, but it will include a more seamless experience than the Vista version does, like the movie info image above. Microsoft really wasn’t ready to share any more details with us, but we suspect the search is improved. The fact that they were so tight lipped leads us to believe that Microsoft is still holding back on some Windows 7 details — at least in regards to internet content and Windows 7. At this point it appears we might have to wait until the official release of Windows 7 to truly figure out if all that work to bring internet content to Windows 7 pays off.

Drama, drama. I'm looking at you "Fiji".

Saturday, July 19th, 2008

Ahhh Microsoft Codename “Fiji”.  You have been most awaited, most revered, and lately a most unwarranted pain in the ass.  What are you anyway?  No one really knows.  “Fiji” was supposed to be this rather large update of Windows Media Center before the launch of Windows 7. 

However, the latest release “Windows Media Center TV Pack 2008″ does not appear to be “Fiji”.  I could be totally wrong.  The TV Pack seems to be some behind closed doors commercial update.  “Fiji” was about UI updates, extenders, and special new features; certainly not just QAM, HD recording, and teletext.

“Fiji” show yourself and show us what we’ve waited for.
