Microsoft to bring PC media to TV
Seattle PI | at | by Mike
Microsoft and its hardware partners are trying to bridge the divide between home computers and televisions this holiday season with the release of several "media extenders." These TV set-top boxes will connect wirelessly to computers running the Home Premium or Ultimate flavors of Windows Vista and enable users to use their TVs to watch movies, TV shows and Internet video that is stored on their computers.
Microsoft planned to announce the prices and more details about the extenders Thursday at the DigitalLife trade show in New York.
