Build Your Own Media Center PC, Part 2
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 second
part of a
two-part series, Wei Meng-Lee shows you how to put together
all the pieces
of the PC, install the operating system, and then watch and
record TV.

Microsoft Open Source Deal Pays Dividends
Despite Steve Ballmer's anti-Linux bluster, the Microsoft
peace pact with
the open source world has begun to pay dividends. For
example, Novell just
announced OpenOffice.org's support of Office 2007's Open XML
format. Check
out my blog for why I think this may be the beginning of a
permanent peace
between Microsoft and the open source community.
