    Windows Live for TV!!

    Remember my blog post on the Nemo Project? Well its back and now called Windows Live for TV.

    Here are the features:

    Live TV is an additional program for Windows Media Center which will provide access to Spaces, Messenger, and Live Call, all wrapped up in a ten foot interface.  Here's the feature list from Ideas:

    • Browse millions of Spaces in rich 3D graphics with new Gallery views and full keyword search
    • Find out what your friends have been doing and saying on Windows Live Spaces
    • Have real-time text and voice conversations*
    • Call your friends' mobile or landline telephones by signing up with Verizon Web Calling to make affordable domestic and international calls**
    • Easily navigate with your mouse, keyboard or a TV remote (remote navigation requires Microsoft Media Center Remote and IR)
    • Make free PC-to-PC calls to other Windows Live Messenger users.
    *Both parties must have compatible webcams, microphones, and speakers
    **Requires voice calling in Windows Live Messenger Client

     

    The application is built in Windows Presentation Framework (.NET 3.0) so you get a nice 3D interface but not the real power of MCML, but still its great to see a Windows Live application on Media Center.

    Its Vista only and you can signup here 

    Via LiveSide.Net
