Ed Bott has been reflecting on the dilemma that Microsoft has around supporting enthusiast and OEMs and how the the limited distribution of TV Feature Pack has upset. Ed looks back at the history of Windows Media Center and digs in to the story of TV Feature Pack. As ever with Ed it makes a good read…
I’ve been digging into that story for the past month or so, including some hands-on tests of the TV Pack running in Windows Vista. In the gallery that accompanies this post, I have an in-depth look at the TV Pack in operation. In this post, I want to focus on the disconnect between the Media Center development team and its community.
What we have here, according to the most vocal critics in the Media Center community, is a failure. What we really have here, I think, is a failure to communicate.
