Build Your Own Media Center PC, Part 1
Windows Media Center turns your ordinary PC into an
all-in-one home
entertainment center to watch and record TV programs, play
DVDs, listen to
music, share your digital photos, and more. In this first
part of a
two-part article, Wei Meng-Lee shows you how to build a
Media Center PC
from scratch.

Is Vista the End of Windows As We Know It?
The five-year-long march to developing Windows Vista exposed
just how
broken Microsoft's Windows-development process is. It took
far too long,
major features were dropped along the way, and it was
wrapped up in more
red tape than the IRS. See why I think that in order to fix
the problems,
Microsoft will have to change the way Windows works.
