Microsoft Puts SideShow on Media Center Remote

Microsoft Puts SideShow on Media Center Remote Technology News, Electronics Buy Guide and Gadget Review “Smart little color displays are just neat. Microsoft thinks so too. We reported about the Windows Vista SideShow feature for notebooks already. Microsoft plans also to use the concept for new Windows Media Center Remote Controls. Microsoft showed at the Media Center Boot Camp at the Electronic House Expo in Orlando, Florida, that the SideShow thingy can also be implemented on a remote control. One application could be a EPG that is transmitted via wi-fi to the remote and being displayed on the Media Center Remote.” via i4u.com
