  • W7 Fast Forward and the Superbowl

    Clubhouse Tags: "clubhouse", "story", "media center"

    After putting the kids to bed last night, my wife and I found ourselves behind in the Superbowl by a little more than 30 minutes.  To catch up, we used the new fast-forward feature in Windows 7 Media Center.  When you click on Fast-Forward once, the playback speed approximately doubles and the audio plays back tone-adjusted for the new speed.  Net result is that we watched The Boss and most of the third quarter using this mode, and didn't miss anything.  It was one of those "wow, that's cool" moments that I haven't seen from my wife for a long time with Media Center.
