Windows 7 Media Center - First Screenshots Revealed

 

Since Microsoft doesn't update their Media Center product very often, the anticipation and speculation of the next version is that much greater compared to the other HTPC software products available.  Today I noticed a website showing a ton of Windows Media Center screenshots from theWindows 7 build 6780 M3. 

As I browsed those screen-shots I noticed the music section and photos section look a little different, but I don't see any significant updates or changes in the UI compared to Visa.  Keep in mind that it's early and much can (and should) change between now and the release date sometime next year.  Check them out and let me know in the comments if you see anything significant to speak of.

I think Microsoft needs to bring some major new features such as h.264 support, true server client ability, softsled, better online video streaming etc to make it a must-have upgrade over the current version.  I like these first looks of the Windows 7 UI, but I also like the Vista Media Center UI.
