Short Bits: DVD Steaming, Media Center U, CEDIA

Charlie Owen wants to know why you think that Microsoft hasn’t hit on DVD streaming yet.  My reasoning?  Because Microsoft has no idea what market to develop for.  Are they focused on their average consumer market?  Because they don’t use Media Center at all.  Are they focused on the market found at The Green Button?  Sure doesn’t seem like it.  Are they focused on the custom installer market?  Partly, but they hardly have the features needed to make a dent on the overall market.

Speaking of the custom market, Microsoft announced that will be holding various training sessions focused on custom installs and integrators at CEDIA this year.

In part 4 of the Media Center University videos from EHX Microsoft’s Todd Rutherford covers integrating Media Center into automation systems and whole home setups.
