01/06/2005 12:17 AMMicrosoft has forged closer links with consumer electronics companies
in an attempt to boost the use of its software in digital media and
entertainment.
They include a partnership with TiVo, the maker of digital video
recorders and one of Microsoft's rivals for dominance in the age of
digital entertainment, that would let users download and watch TV
shows on mobile handsets.
The moves, which were due to outlined by Bill Gates in Las Vegas last
night at the beginning of the annual Consumer Electronics Show,
highlight efforts by the famously adversarial software giant to forge
closer ties to companies that in the past have been seen as rivals.
Co-operating with traditional consumer electronics companies, rather
than competing with them head-on, has become central to this plan,
according to industry analysts.

regardless of where the PC is located. Media Center Extender
Technology will not only provide access to rich content and services,
but will enable devices throughout the home to utilize the full
processing and storage capabilities of the PC creating new
opportunities for services and providing unprecedented choice and

users listen to music on their PCs. And that is just the tip of the
iceberg. Last year, more than 100 million digital photos were taken.
More and more people are using PCs to view videos. By the end of this

Media Transfer Between Windows XP-Based
PCs and Consumer Electronics Devices
01/08/2004 07:36 PMToday at the 2004 International Consumer Electronics Show (CES),
Microsoft Corp. announced Windows® Media Connect, technology designed
to enable hardware manufacturers to easily develop devices such as
Digital Media Receivers (DMRs), which have rich functionality for
playing digital media files stored on personal computers over home
networks. A broad range of industry leaders have announced their
support of this upcoming technology, including leading PC OEMs and
consumer electronics device manufacturers including Arcadyan
Technology Corp., Creative Labs, Dell Inc., Mediabolic Inc., PRISMIQ
Inc., Rockford Corp., Roku, Simple Devices Inc. and Toshiba. Leading
content service providers such as LAUNCH Music on Yahoo!, MusicNow
(formerly FullAudio), and Napster also endorsed Windows Media Connect
for its ability to extend the reach of their content and services to a
new range of consumer devices. Available in 2004, Windows Media
Connect technology will overcome two critical hurdles faced by
networked media devices today: compatibility between proprietary
devices and ease of access to content stored on the PC.

the script commands can trigger events in an embedded player program,
or they can open your browser and then navigate to a Web page. This

09/03/2004 08:18 AMThe most striking change to Microsoft Windows Media Player 10, the
much-awaited upgrade to the player/jukebox that ships on most new PCs,
is its dramatic cosmetic overhaul. Windows Media Player (WMP) no
longer feels like a freebie utility thrown in with the OS (think
Notepad), but is an application you'll actually want to use. By giving
you easy access to all of your multimedia files (music, photos, and
video) and helping you accomplish the tasks you're likely to want to
do with them, WMP 10 at least equals — and in our estimation
surpasses — the current leader in the field, MusicMatch Jukebox 9.

Instead, Microsoft should have been forced to place media player IP

players. Of course,
