Is the latest Media Center update ready yet?

Windows Media Center Edition 1 Minute

On Saturday, I wrote briefly about a post that Chris Lanier published on his site, which speculated about the ship date of Windows XP Media Center Edition Update Rollup 2.

So … did that code actually ship as scheduled last week? The Neowin article that Chris used as his source was a couple months old, and it was actually pulled from Neowin’s site a few weeks later. In addition, it referred to a proposed schedule, not actual events.

Anyone on the eHome team want to take advantage of the anonymity of the Internet and clear things up? (I didn’t think so.)

  1. [Like I said on Chris Lainers blog:]

    Here in Denmark, Media Center PC will go on sale on September 2. We have not a Danish version of MCE2005 until now, and one of the new things in this Update Rollup is the support for additional locales.

    This is a good hint that we will see the update before too long.

  2. Microsoft New Zealand are running a Media Center Road Show this week and next week; its purpose is to “introduce Microsoft Windows XP Media Center Edition roll-up 2 and the new Start Something consumer campaign to our System Builder Technical and Retail Sales partners”. So yeah, it looks like it is very close…
