Microsoft is adding Netflix to Windows Media Center

Microsoft’s Windows Media Center is about to have a new content provider, Netflix, and will be a feature for computers running on the Vista operating system. This is part of Microsoft’s drive to give its users more entertainment options on their computers.

Microsoft should be able to implement Netflix smoothly on Windows Media Player, as they also deliver movies on the Xbox 360 console. The problem on the console is that they can only watch movies that are available for instant streaming. This is where having the system on a computer will be a far better option.

Having Netflix as part of Windows Media Center will allow you to instantly stream movies when they are available. PC World has been talking to senior product marketing manager at Microsoft, Ben Reed. Read what he has to say about the new service.
