Windows Media Center is dead, and Windows 10 will not rise again
Microsoft confirms that Windows 10 there will be no Windows Media Center, the multimedia platform built on Windows 7 and Windows 8.
Microsoft has suspended development work on Windows Media Center in 2009, many users hoped for a new review of the platform on the upcoming Windows 10 online and seeks guidance on the official forums on the subject. The answer is a resounding no. Windows Media Center is in other words ” dead “, as reported by ZDNet, and Microsoft has no plans to revive it with the next version of the operating system from Redmond. To confirm it was a company executive in a private event of BUILD.
In essence, the ” small but voluble army ” of supporters of Windows Media Center will be prohibited access to the platform once they decide to upgrade for free from the Windows 7 or Windows 8 at the upcoming Windows 10. Users will still receive a warning message, where you are prompted to uninstall the application for ” compatibility reasons ” before upgrading. After completing the procedure, there will be no way to restore the software or reinstall it (at least officially).
An outcome that was to be expected anyway: as we wrote on the team that was in charge of the development of Windows Media Center was dismantled in 2009 just after completing its programming on Windows 7. The software was then received minor upgrades with the release of Windows 8 and Windows 8.1, Peche himself become compatible with new operating systems. The new version is not introduced anything new on the platform and did not follow the rapid development of the sector in recent years.
Already on Windows 8 are natively new more advanced methods for the use of multimedia contents, and there will of course also on Windows 10. In addition, with the arrival of new specific devices and Smart TV, the PC and home entertainment have a bit lost its importance, allowing for convenient solution to the use of multimedia content. But although it was already in the elimination of the Windows Media Center, we are confident that a hard core of fans will be disappointed novelty.
