Windows Vista Media Center Now with Netflix


Netflix in Windows Media Center

The latest step in the evolution of Windows Media Center in Windows Vista is synonymous with the integration of the Netflix service directly into the default component of Windows. According to Microsoft, Netflix membership in combination with Windows Media Center in either the Home Premium or the Ultimate SKUs of Vista will allow access to in excess of 12,000 movie titles and episodes from Netflix. Essentially users of the Home

Premium and Ultimate editions of Vista will be able to see a new tile labeled Netflix under the “TV + Movies” category in Windows Media Center. Loging into the Netflix account will permit users to stream content right to their PCs.

“You will be able to search the entire Netflix library right from Windows Media Center, and manage both your Instant and DVD Queues. Windows Media Center will also take advantage of Netflix’s “recommended” categories,” explained Brandon LeBlanc, Windows communications manager on the Windows Client Communications Team. “You can also use your Windows Media Center remote to navigate the player controls and queues for Netflix in Windows Media Center too!”
