    xbox 360 Microsoft Frees 360 from XP Media Edition Shackles

    Microsoft has announced a rework of its Media Player for Windows that will allow Xbox 360 users to stream content to their off-shiny white games machines, freeing the delivery of such media from the shackles of Windows XP Media Edition.

    As you may be aware, Microsoft locked the ability to view movies and listen to music from your PC via its new console to its unpopular 'lifestyle' operating system. A new deployment of Windows Media Player 11 features a mode called Media Sharing that will, in time, open up your shady world of dark pornography, songs from the mid-80s and other sordid secrets to other areas of your home.

    Although the beta version of the updated Windows Media Player is available now, you'll have to wait for an update to the dashboard - to be made available via Live - before the changes take place.
