Microsoft debuts Extenders for Windows Media Center, adds DivX and XviD – Engadget

This may be the first product from Microsoft that got me a little excited since they announced the XBOX36o back in 2005. Microsoft has recently announced a brand new rev of its Media Center Extender line that actually makes them interesting. These boxes now can stream HD and play Divx and Xvid codecs. What?!? Is the H. E. double-hockeysticks place finally expecting some cooler weather?

If Microsoft follows through on this one, they may actually have a future in the living room.

All I ask is that they push this out to the XBOX360. Please…’cause if you do, I might just throw out my old compy and replace it with a Vista box…and I mean it.
