Vista & 360

Posted: 04-06-2006, 02:20 PM
I have two questions:

1) Will Vista be working with the 360 soon? 5308 would hang and I havent
tried 5348 yet.

2) Will the 360 be getting or already have an updated media center UI that
will match Vista instead of MCE-05?

thanks
Nick

Yes, the XBOX 360 should be working with Vista by around BETA 2 or possibly
the April CTP.

thanks andre, any word on the interface itself on the 360? will it match the
new Vista media center or still be the old media center 05 interface? Would
be nice to have the new Vista media center interface.

> Quick point, i'm currently on build 5381, Xbox 360 still not working as an extender, as for the UI on the Xbox 360 the UI is taken from the Media Center PC, so whether its MCE 2005 or Vista MCE the UI will be identical to what you see on your PC monitor, its not pre-loaded on an extender its copied from the Media Center PC. So when using an Xbox 360 or any extender with Vista you will see the Vista UI.

So when can I use Vista Beta 2 and 360 to watch recorded TV? Last I heard
the date for 360 VISTA Extender was April.

May I ask exactly how you got Windows Vista Beta 2 considering the fact that
it is NOT even out yet?

P.S. Build 5381 is NOT Beta 2, by the way, and IS Under an NDA, just FYI.
