Linksys DMA2200 Media Extender plummets from $350 to $95 {Engadget HD}
Mar 27th 2009 4:57PM These work great with Windows 7. The price was $300, not $350 and I bought one in a package deal on newegg in November with Gears of War 2 and a 2200 for $129.
If you have digital cable tuners for your pc these are essential.
And in regards to the codec support...I can play all of my files on extenders by trancoding. I can transcode 1080p mkvs at full resolution on the fly without problems.
If I had more TVs to connect I'd be buying more of these extenders.

Mar 2nd 2009 5:51PM I tested the trial version, and it sucks. There's a huge movielive sidebar even after skipping installing it, and it won't play any of my bluray isos now. Looks like a step back to me so far...I'm going back to powerdvd 8.

Windows 7 to natively support DivX and transcoding? {Engadget HD}
Nov 5th 2008 6:31PM xvids, and divx both work on the 360 out of the box with windows 7. I'm getting a lot of use out of it already. I have video on my mkvs after installing coreavc, etc but no audio. I have a feeling I'll get the audio working some way soon...
Windows 7 looks like a pretty big upgrade over vista so far.
