Jeff Henshaw and David Alles of Microsoft discuss the “Living Room of the Future“ in this interesting podcast from MSDN Channel 9.  The subject is the use of MS X-Box 360 as a media center extender.  For anyone who had been considering buying a Media Center Extender from Linksys to compliment their Media Center computer, this should be a must see. 

There is also a good review (here) about XBox 360 and how it relates to Media Center computers on the Supersite for Windows.  Now that MS has included HD wireless streaming into the equation, everything changes.  This device might just be in my future when I take the plunge and upgrade to HDTV – hopefully in the near future.
