    Microsoft (finally) speaks out on ‘Fiji’

    It only took two-plus years, but Microsoft finally issued on August 8 its official comment about Fiji, a k a “Windows Media Center TV Pack.”
    Although Microsoft isn’t going to make Fiji commercially available until September 3, when certain OEM partners start shipping the new Vista Media Center update preloaded on new systems, the Fiji team finally decided to talk to “clear up some of the speculation and rumors” about it.

    I think it really sucks that M$ are not releasing this to at least the Ultimate users, who so far have got a few dreamscenes and the worst sound pack ever as the Ultimate extras that they were promised.

    Agreed - that is a bit lame

    I should just warn you that, over on the Xbox forums at least, any post that contains the word 'M$' (with the $ sign) is generally considered worthless
