Why not make my tablet an extender?
OK, in the last week or so, Microsoft has said publically that the Origami/UMPC will get special Media Center extender software to allow the use of the UMPC device as a Media Center extender. Why can't they enable all PCs to become Media Center extenders? It just uses Remote Desktop for christ sakes. This would be especially cool on my tablet to be able to sling my media all over my house and watch it wherever I take my tablet. It would be cool to be able to watch my Media Center content in my office on my second monitor while I'm banging away on some code. I know that I can use the Media Connect but it is not the same. I want to be able to watch live TV on my tablet or my other PCs. I just don't get it. Does anyone know why this is a problem? Is it not a problem and Microsoft just hasn't thought of this? Hard to imagine if that is the case.
