| | Vista Business Edition - Can you still stream media? Hello I'm trying to decide on which Vista edition is most appropriate for my needs. I want the Remote Desktop capability. This implies Vista Business or Vista Ultimate. I also want to be able to stream media (music, videos, JPEG slide shows) over my network to a D-Link DSM-320 Media Center (hardware device) attached to my television. I do NOT want/need to put together a Media Center PC. Can I get away with Vista Business (using Windows Media Player 11 to stream the media, like I can do now in Windows XP)? Or, do I need Vista Ultimate (which includes the Media Center features of Vista Home Premium)? I would appreciate a response only if you have the answer. Thx. |

| | Re: Vista Business Edition - Can you still stream media? If you have a working copy of XP that does what you want it to do why would you even consider spending your money to get Vista? I would stick with what you have unless you have a real good reason to move to Vista right now. Maybe after service pack 1 but not now.
