This week Hakan Olsson, Senior Marketing Manager for Windows Media Center joins me to talk about today’s launch of the version 2 extenders. We talk about what they are, who is making them and how they fit in with the digital lifestyle. We also talk about the new beta Internet TV feature in Media Center. I have email, news items and a chance to win a copy of One Voices’ Media Center Communicator and LTB’s L-Beam Wireless Microphone System.

This information is very hot off the press as all the details are being announced today as this show goes out
