The Digital Lifestyle Show #291–Microsoft and Consumers

We have a packed show for you this week. We have the start of a new giveaway , thanks to DVBLogic we are giving away copies of DVBLink Network Pack (details in the show)

We talk about Microsoft's attitude to consumers products and whether the failure of some of Microsoft’s consumer products are going to cause problems in the future or whether they are right to focus on  the revenue. We talk about Windows Home Server Vail and a potential release candidate, Blackgold  DVB-T2 tuner issues, my experiences with making a Windows Media Center Setup box install with Windows Embedded, Android Windows Media Center apps, Intel Sandybridge problems and hybrid disk drives.
