Engadget.com has a pretty decent review of the new features in the Media Center feature of Windows 7 at https://www.engadgethd.com/2009/07/27/windows-7-media-center-review/.  If you haven’t ever experienced recording TV with Windows XP, Windows Vista or Windows 7, you need to check it out.

Saturday I did an in-place upgrade of my Windows Vista Ultimate x64 SP2 machine.  The upgrade went very smoothly.  I hit one small issue with my digital cable tuner activation that I was able to workaround.  Since that time I have recorded several movies.  I am also testing sleep/resume to verify it is waking up properly for scheduled recordings.

I’ll report more results later and capture some of the action in the form of a screencast.
