Vista Media Center Tries to Beef Up Online Media

In the Windows XP version of Media Center the online media content (titled Spotlight) was a big dissapointment. There wasn't a standard framework that the developers had to follow so everyone's applications looked different and the video quality of some feeds were terrible. Plus there was not a lot of content on there. Well Microsoft is going to try it again with Vista and hopes the new powerful graphic features of Vista will make it a better experience. Bill Gates recently announced more content partnerships with Nascar and Fox Sports and at CES more content partnerships was announced. You can catch a video of Vista in action over at on10. From what I have seen Vista online media will look a whole lot better; we'll have to see about the content.
