Windows 7’s Remote Streaming Media Features
When setting up Windows 7 RC1 last week, one of the first things I noticed was the media player offered a simple option to stream media to devices outside my local home network (XP and Vista already let you stream to other devices on a local home network).
CNet’s Ina Fried has a good review of this feature here. The bottom line is that it’s not yet consumer friendly but has potential. If the final version of Windows 7 makes this a well known, easy to use feature, it could be the beginning of people using their home PC as personal media server and extender on a broader basis.
