Say goodbye to Windows Media Center

Looks like Microsoft is ready to pull the plug on Windows Media Center. They haven’t been updating or developing the service since 2009 but it has been shipped in an upgrade pack for Windows 8. But it would seem that won’t be moving beyond that. So, if you’re going to upgrade to Windows 10, prepare to part ways.

Windows Media Center was built as a separate Windows XP version and it was going to run full screen as a media player. It also could support TV channels via TV tuners. There were dedicated Media Center PCs out there but it didn’t gain enough traction to go mainstream.
