How-to guide explains boxee / Vista Media Center integration

by Darren Murph posted Jan 27th 2009 at 10:20AM

We've already seen boxee for Windows previewed, but if you've been toying with the idea of integrating it into your Vista Media Center setup, you'll probably want to give the read link a look. In short, the step-by-step guide walks you gently through the integration procedure in order to provide easy access to built-in Windows functions (recorded shows, for instance) as well as boxee's portal to the best content the web has to offer. Have a look at the results video just after the break.

That would be really cool if it would work through extenders as well, but I suspect not since it basically seems to minimize VMC and open Boxee and then go back by closing Boxee and refocusing VMC.

What would be cool would be if MS could actually get internet content into Media Center instead of making me use a competitive product...
