Some datas about M$-mediaCenter :

- media center is the new Micro$hift operating system : Dream :

- 2.6 Ghz : Minimum speed to make the OS run !

- 512 Mo de RAM : Minimum RAM to make the OS run...

And, according to Nicolas Mirali, Technical director products at Micro$oft France :

'We garanty you that the system work with 50% of the computer, maximum" :

So : 2.6Ghz & 512 Mo RAM to launch an OS... They got humours at Micro$hit

This belongs to the series-WTF?!?!



2600mhz.. they are frocking crazy..

Nans.. post some links / more info on this plz?

There are no informations about the system minimal requirement on the M$ site, because media center is a complete system (computer + OS) and the OS cant be brought without a Media Center PC. (This will probably give more power to M$hit. What is doing the justice and the antitrust laws ?!). But this is the M$ homepage of media center :

Its all we need, another 2 grand component in the living room. Though Dell is selling one for $999. I know people are going to buy it, but to me its a waste of money. I already have a computer that can do all of that stuff. If I want to see it on my TV I will just plugin my laptop.

Looks like Sony already has a product to compete with the media center.

About the size of the PlayStation2 (news - web sites), the PSX is to go on sale in Japan late this year, beginning at $720 for a 160-gigabyte hard disk version that can record 200 hours of digital video.

Sony said the PSX will reach U.S. and European markets next year but did not provide prices.

New Sony PSX

I downloaded this the other day, I deleted it when I realised I have no need for it.

I use a linux server under the stairs at home which runs the excellent VideoLAN, which is free and does much of the video and audio streaming in my house.

I have a TV card in the server, broadcasting live TV on the home network, it really does work quite well.
