Video: Windows Media Center 7 with touch interface

Although many of the devout Media Center fans were disappointed with the the Microsoft keynote, Windows Media Center 7 most definitely raises the bar for DVR software. The new guide is really cool and also addresses some of the bigger pain points for MC users. Then, to really dazzle your friends Microsoft has added a touch interface whitch is not only really really cool to play with, it will also be very useful for those with touch screen computers in locations like a kitchen.

Touch interface aside, the UI looks stunning. The performance is bar none. I will look forward to having this option when it's available to ditch the aged and no frills Comcast DVR with I-Guide.

That is an awesome interface. I am not sure I want to touch my television to do it, but it really makes a touch based remote control desirable.

Ditto. Looks freaking awesome, but unless its on that Kitchen Touchscreen Atom Wifi nettop for $599 I keep dreaming about, it'll have to work that well with a wireless touchpad remote...
