XP Media Center with Media Center remote control

Michael

I found this document on the Microsoft web site, and I had
some questions about when I could buy a Media Center PC
equipped with the wireless microphone integrated into the
Media Center remote control. This is mentioned below in
the last paragraph of item #2 of my e-mail. I was not at
WinHEC, but this technology sounds very appealing to my
family and to my business.

Thanks in advance for any information you can provide. If
this has reached the wrong newsgroup, please

"Windows Hardware Showcase -- WinHEC 2004 Fact Sheet: Demo
Descriptions"


Windows XP Media Center Edition Hardware Innovation

The ways in which people enjoy media on their PCs are
being redefined by Windows XP Media Center Edition.
Innovations by Microsoft's hardware industry partners that
take advantage of Windows XP Media Center Edition are
resulting in exciting new media experiences. A few
highlights presented here include these:

The unique design of the Niveus Media AVX, inspired by
high-end audio equipment, enables it to use full-powered
PC components while providing extremely quiet operation -
it is completely fanless. Using a powerful processor and
video card, the system supports playback of stunning
Windows Media® Video High-Definition DVDs, bringing high-
resolution discs to the consumer home entertainment
experience while leveraging the power and flexibility of
the Media Center PC.

Consumers have complained about the complexity required to
record a television program. Microsoft and One Voice
Technologies Inc. have developed a wireless microphone
integrated into the Media Center remote control and
supported by innovative voice command software. Users can
now simply say what they want to do - record their
favorite program, locate content or view what they
recorded.
