Vista Media Center
The Vista Media Center sports a totally new UI which greatly enhances the total User Experience.
For the first time, Media Center will allow the use of the CableCard, eliminating the need for a set-top box and/or associated hardware, such as an IR blaster.
The content presentation layer is also vastly improved, with dynamic thumbnailing, and a cleaner presentation of contents.
