Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005 (part two)

I knew I'd forget a couple of things as there so many new features, here's what I missed:

Messenger

  • Media Center now has a built in version of Messenger.  You can sign in on the Media Center PC or Extender and use Messenger from the comfort of your sofa - it's worth buying a wireless keyboard for this - trying to type with a remote control is pretty slow

Portable devices

  • Plug in a portable device like a music player or a Portable Media Center and you can sync the content automatically from within Media Center using the remote control.

See part one for the rest.
