Portable Media Center Support

As we alluded to in our review of the new Portable Media Center devices, MCE 2005 is a much better OS for Portable Media Center owners. You no longer have to sync your device through Windows Media Player 10's interface, you can do it directly within the MCE 10-ft UI.

You can also background transcode your TV shows while you're watching TV, but remember that the transcoding process will eat up 100% of your CPU time, regardless of how fast your CPU is. Although MCE will prioritize properly and make sure that the live TV remains uninterrupted, your transcoding process will take longer because of it.

Those who frequently use their PMCs will definitely appreciate the MCE 2005 interface, it's worlds better and much more user friendly than Windows Media Player 10.
