RE: Windows Vista & Sky

["Rob Mouser" <groups@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This was covered in Bill Gates key note speech at CES. Cant remember all
the details now but its worth a watch. It does have one of longest and most
boring intro's I've ever watched though :-/.
But I'd love one of the office screens he uses in the first part of his
presentation, ooooh and the mirror sized screen in the hall too please :-)

I was just reading the following article:

http://www.vnunet.com/forbes/news/2148124/microsoft-add-hd-dvd-drive-
xbox

And came across this statement:

"Microsoft is to partner with U.K. cable provider BSkyB (nyse: BSY -
news - people ) to allow full integration of the satellite TV
service into Windows Vista."

I wonder if this will mean that the Vista version of Media Centre
will be able to act as a Sky+ type PVR system? Maybe just streaming
of content from the Sky+ box to the Vista Media Centre?

Does anyone else know anything about this?

Cheers,

Rob
