Microsoft is preparing to it's brand new product. Following the launch of Windows Vista, Microsoft made available for download an update to Windows Media Center, namely Windows Media Center TV Pack 2008, formerly codenamed Fiji. And just in case users will want a preview of Windows Media Center in Windows 7 ahead of actually getting their media “dirty,” Microsoft has made available a video of the new features available in the next iteration of Windows. In the video embedded at the bottom of this article you will be able to see Windows Media Center Program Manager Noah Spitzer-Williams presenting Windows 7's Windows Media Center.

Although initial reports indicated that Fiji was a major update for Windows Media Center, Windows Media Center TV Pack 2008 ended up being nothing more than an OEM-exclusive release, designed to work in conjunction with hardware products, while delivering little additional functionality for Windows Media Center. Windows Media Center TV Pack 2008 was leaked to torrent sites ahead of its official availability, but fact is that in order to fully taste evolution in Vista's Windows Media Center end users will have to upgrade to Windows 7.

Windows Media Center in Windows 7 brings to the table the following new features:

- Changes to the way videos are displayed in Video Library to include Thumbnails AND Names for each video.
- Support for H.264 Video - no 3rd party codecs are required to play H.264 content.
- Video Play-All Option (think of it as a “Video Slide Show”) with ability to navigate between each video.
- Developers can take advantage of the new Import API for Windows Portable Devices. The new API enables photos AND videos from portable devices to be imported directly within Windows Media Center.
- Ability to create Slide Shows (new Slide Show pivot) with your pictures and can contain pictures or music or both.
- New On-screen Keyboard (Touch-enabled).
- Improved Rating Controls within Windows Media Center UI.
- New Ratings Pivot for quick access to your favorite content.
- Play Favorites feature with new Slide Show style.
- Auto Slide Show feature acts as a screensaver for Windows Media Center."

After read the above article i'm sure you agree with me that it's worth to read article isn't it..? don't miss this...

Displaying Gravatars in comments

      To refresh your memory, Gravatars are little user images from Gravatar.com that are displayed against your comments in the theme (if the theme is built to support Gravatars). A lot of WordPress themes are built without the support of Gravatars. So, here is some help for you to add Gravatars in your theme. Open up your comments.php file from the theme folder. Find this piece of code :-

<?php comment_text() ?>
Replace the above code with the following code :-
<div class="gravs">
<?php if (get_bloginfo('version')>=2.5)
echo get_avatar( $comment->comment_author_email, $size = '50', $comment->comment_author_link);?>
<?php comment_text() ?>
</div>
<br clear="all" />

The above code will display the Gravatars. Now let us add some CSS to the style.css file for your theme.
.gravs {margin-top:20px;}
.avatar {float:left; margin-right:5px; margin-bottom:5px; padding:3px; border:1px solid #999999;}
When you check your theme again, you will see the Gravatar images against your comments.
