What Was It?
Media Center turned a Windows PC into a television-oriented media interface, with playback and recording functions designed for use beyond a desk. Its large-screen presentation made the computer feel closer to a living-room appliance.
The end of inclusion in newer Windows releases did not instantly prevent older installations from continuing to run.
