XP Media Center to Get Hotmail Add-in
8 Comments
Microsoft's 10-foot Media Center interface for viewing video and pictures on the TV is not just for digital media anymore. Redmond developers have created a new add-in for the special edition of Windows XP that provides users access to their Hotmail accounts for reading e-mail between television shows.
"Email name is cached on login, however the user must enter the password on next login," explains Windows Vista product manger Sean Alexander. "An on-screen keyboard displays making it easier to tap in with a remote, but I really recommend a keyboard at this point." A preview release of the add-in, is expected to be available for download next week.
