Talk:Media Center (software application)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I'm sorry, but M$ is not the only one working with this concept.

Is it true that there are more products running over Windows systems (MediaPortal, XBOX MediaCenter...) but the there are also developments for GNU/Linux (MythTV media), so I don't feel confortable with this appropiation of the term.

What about defining this as the abstract concet it is instead of a single product?

Cheers, Marc Bria

I absolutely agree! As a Media Center I understand a PC with special Multimedia support and a Media Center frontend like one of those: http://www.mythtv.org, Windows MCE, http://www.myhtpc.de, http://www.sceneo.tv --Velociraptor 09:23, 12 Apr 2005 (UTC)

I'm not quite sure I understand what either of you are getting at. To Marc: You understand that this article refers to a specific program called "Media Center", right? Microsoft (I assume that's what you mean by M$) has nothing to do with the program, aside from developing the operating system that it runs on. Also, do you mean to say "It is true ..."? Either way I'm kind of confused. --Kine 05:28, 17 Apr 2005 (UTC)

There is a difference between Media Center and Media center – the application should remain here and information about media centres in general should be at the latter (or with the "correct" re spelling). violet/riga (t) 18:28, 17 Apr 2005 (UTC)

I've added a notice with a link to Media center at the top of the page to avoid confusion.

I've moved this page, updated all references to it, then changed the old name to be a redirect to Media center. Capitalization is not a way to disambiguate articles, so I've gone with the standard "pair" way to do it which is crossreferences at the top of both pages and bracketing to distinguish the less common use. -- cmh 21:31, 10 April 2006 (UTC)
