On September 27, Microsoft along with a handful of partners took the official wraps off new Windows Middle Media Extenders, that are priced at about $350 a piece and accessible this vacation period.(Microsoft rolled out earlier this week the updates to Windows Media Center in Vista House Top quality and Vista Final necessary to assistance these “Pika” extenders.)At least one influential critic thinks this price point will result in Microsoft pricing itself right out of the kinds of markets it hopes to attract with devices designed to allow users to stream Windows Media Middle content, like photos,
Windows 7 Activation Key, music, video and more,
Office 2007 Pro Plus Key, to TVs,
Office 2007 Professional Plus, DVD players and other devices around the house.Microsoft Media Middle Most Valuable Professional Chris Lanier has been blogging up a storm of discontent about the new extenders:“What doesn’t Microsoft understand here? First the public’s feeling is that they are limiting Extenders to the Xbox 360 so they can grab all the profit (not really since they lose on every 360, but that’s the general public’s feeling) so their solution is have partners add Wireless-N and additional codec assistance in standalone v2 Extenders and sell it for $80 more than an Xbox 360? Even better,
Windows 7 Ultimate Key, codec assistance around the Xbox 360 Extender doesn’t seem like it will improve much.”Lanier had some constructive criticism for the Media Middle team, as well,
Office 2010 Serial, including making wireless an option (not the default); gigabit Ethernet assistance; more attractive exteriors; and a $150 to $200 price point for third-party extenders.The new Media Center extenders are a component of Microsoft;s connected-home vision. They;re not as pricey as the “big-ass” Surface tables, but are they to gain widespread consumer adoption?
