New Microsoft Entertainment Products Continue Transformation of Digital Media09/02/2004 12:49 AM Every once in a while, the dance between trends and technology
achieves an almost perfect state of synchronicity that changes the way
we experience the world. This may be one of those times. Among the
trends: five years ago, less than 13 percent of Internet users had a
digital-music file on their computer. Now, 70 percent of computer
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
year, 9.5 million TV tuner cards will have shipped.
Microsoft Windows Media Player 10
Microsoft Windows Media Player 1009/03/2004 08:18 AM The 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. Grok Description matches for Real Sues Microsoft For 'Using Windows To Hurt Digital Media Rivals' GrokA matches for Real Sues Microsoft For 'Using Windows To Hurt Digital Media Rivals'
