I have a great show this week even if your not a Media Center enthusiast. Windows expert Ed Bott joined me for a live show a couple of weeks ago talking about Vista Service Pack 1. We talked about many topics including Service Pack 1 and had some great questions from the chat room. Ed talks a lot of sense and helps puts the record straight on Windows Vista, he made a great statement “One of the things about the blogosphere is that it reduces every argument to one that can be shouted across a wall”. I have a couple of emails and an news on a new competition
