The Media Center Show #79(MP3 - 19.9mb- 57mins 69secs)
LISTEN HERE

This week I have part one of a great interview with Aaron Stebner from the eHome team at Microsoft. We are going to be talking about Media Center Markup Language the new way of developing applications for Media Center. It was such an in depth interview I have decided to split the interview over two weeks. If you thinking of or are developing for Media Center this is going to be a great interview.

So this week on the Media Center Show Extra I will be showing off the sample applications that Aaron talks about in the interviews including the Q applications, I will also be showing off mceAuction the ebay application I have talked about on the show before

Don’t forget the Media Center Show Award nominations!
