    You guys are obviouly not pushing this product enough. I find WMC to be the future of the TV experience, I urge Microsoft to put more resources and time into this product and not wait until iTV sweeps the market and leaves you with the task of catching up. And please include WMC with Windows 8, having the ability to run WMC on a tablet or atleast function as an extender is a feature that will seperate this product from the rest.

    @Oldmajor This is a fair question. As a matter of fact, the wireless settings integration into Media Center is one of the things Windows Embedded has been adding to deliver a "non-desktop" experience to the final user. I will edit the blog post to show some screen shots. -Olivier

    Thanks Oliver, i didnt realize you responded to my post! However, now I'm having issues with even connecting to a wireless network using the STB wizard and ICE... I'm sure i'll figure something out

    Olivier, I was wondering what the script/registry setting you ran to change the default media center start menu to a custom MCML application was. I can not find this script/registry setting anywhere on the web nor the Windows Embedded Partner Portal Resource Center.

    @Luke - Instructions and documentation for Media Center customization are provided to OEMs building Set Top Boxes with Windows Embedded Standard. Unfortunately we cannot share this documentation. Note that the customization happens at different levels:   - features and functionalities additions for the Windows Embedded Standard version   - Registry modifications   - Resources files modifications

    I agree with Alfredo, you need to push this product before iTV closes you out.

    @Vali If you are using Windows Embedded Standard 7, then you should use the Custom Shell feature described here: msdn.microsoft.com/.../ff793949(v=winembedded.60).aspx. If you are on a regular Windows Machine, then you can change the default shell application by modifying this registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindows NTCurrentVersionWinlogon
