Fiji, anyone?

I can’t get you much news about Seven, but will you settle news for Windows “Fiji”?

I thought you would. For those who aren’t “in the know”, Fiji is scheduled as the next update to Windows Vista’s Media Center, or an Update Rollup if you will. Well, thanks to a good friend whom some of you may know by the name of BoInTheMix, I have some details about this update to share with you today.

Here are just a few bits of information about Fiji:
- Will add DirecTV support, which has been a long time coming (since 2006)
- New built-in Updating engine (seperate from Windows Update) dubbed “Windows Media Center Update”
- To be named “Windows Vista Media Center Feature Pack 2008″
- Currently in private beta, but scheduled to be released in the coming months

At the moment, that’s all I can share with you. But more to come as it floats down the tubes…

What, think I’d leave it at that? Bah, never…


What others have to say...

    Anyone knows when will we get this?

    Why we need yeat another service running in background just for Media Center updates? I don’t like the seperate ‘Windows Media Center Update’

  3. 3 Braeden Petruk

    I’d like WinUpdate and MediaCenter update to be combined with the final patch release.
