Its amazing to see the whole package together, up to now I have only seen the book a chapter at time and Tony has done a great job layout the book. &lt;p&gt;I have learnt a lot about Media Center while writing the book and it makes you realize how broad a product Windows Media Center is and how the Media Center UI hides the complexities of Windows extremely well. &lt;p&gt;I hope that the book will help people get started with Windows Media Center and make sure that users get the most out of there investment. &lt;p&gt;I have really enjoyed writing the book and I must admit to getting a real buzz seeing my name on &lt;a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/0859345823?tag=httpthedigita-21&amp;amp;camp=1406&amp;amp;creative=6394&amp;amp;linkCode=as1&amp;amp;creativeASIN=0859345823&amp;amp;adid=01Z0R473HMRP1KZ1AD4F&amp;amp;"&gt;Amazon&lt;/a&gt; (it certainly appeals to my vanity) and I can't wait to get a copy of the book in my hands. &lt;p&gt;The book should be available in about 4 weeks and you can pre-order on &lt;a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/0859345823?tag=httpthedigita-21&amp;amp;camp=1406&amp;amp;creative=6394&amp;amp;linkCode=as1&amp;amp;creativeASIN=0859345823&amp;amp;adid=01Z0R473HMRP1KZ1AD4F&amp;amp;"&gt;Amazon.co.uk now&lt;/a&gt; &lt;p&gt;So what next.............. &lt;p&gt;  &lt;div style="padding-right:0px;display:inline;padding-left:0px;padding-bottom:0px;margin:0px;padding-top:0px"&gt;Technorati tags: &lt;a href="http://technorati.com/tags/windows Media Center" rel=tag&gt;windows Media Center&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://technorati.com/tags/Using Windows Vista Media Center" rel=tag&gt;Using Windows Vista Media Center&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://c.services.spaces.live.com/CollectionWebService/c.gif?cid=3933948523345100457&amp;page=RSS%3a+Update+on+%22Using+Windows+Vista+Media+Center%22&amp;referrer=" width="1px" height="1px" border="0" alt=""&gt;&lt;img style="position:absolute" alt="" width="0px" height="0px" src="http://c.live.com/c.gif?NC=31263&amp;amp;NA=1149&amp;amp;PI=73329&amp;amp;RF=&amp;amp;DI=3919&amp;amp;PS=85545&amp;amp;TP=iandixon.spaces.live.com&amp;amp;GT1=iandixon"&gt;</description><comments>http://iandixon.spaces.live.com/Blog/cns!36983156CAA83EA9!1878.entry#comment</comments><guid isPermaLink="true">http://iandixon.spaces.live.com/Blog/cns!36983156CAA83EA9!1878.entry</guid><pubDate>Tue, 06 Mar 2007 20:30:47 GMT</pubDate><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><msn:type>blogentry</msn:type><live:type>blogentry</live:type><live:typelabel>Blog entry</live:typelabel><wfw:commentRss>http://iandixon.spaces.live.com/blog/cns!36983156CAA83EA9!1878/comments/feed.rss</wfw:commentRss><wfw:comment>http://iandixon.spaces.live.com/Blog/cns!36983156CAA83EA9!1878.entry#comment</wfw:comment><dcterms:modified>2007-03-06T20:30:47Z</dcterms:modified></item><item><title>Details on my new Vista Media Center Book</title><link>http://iandixon.spaces.live.com/Blog/cns!36983156CAA83EA9!1788.entry</link><description>&lt;p&gt;For a while now I have been working on a Vista Media Center book with Tony Campbell co-author of Using Windows XP Media Center 2005. The writing process is going well and I am really enjoying doing it, its amazing the hidden features you learn! 
&lt;p&gt;You can now pre-order the book on Amazon, it's a fantastic feeling to see you name on Amazon.
