on their television screens. The update will allow broadband and
home network customers to view more of the video content added to
the MSN TV 2 home page with video news clips updated throughout the
day.
Laptop Battery MSN TV 2 users who have purchased and downloaded Microsoft
Windows Media-compatible digital
music (for example, from MSN Music
or Napster) onto their PCs can now play that digital content via
their MSN TV 2 players even if files are protected by Windows Media
Digital Rights Management. The new MSN TV 2 Music home page will

Thinkpad Were constantly engaged with our users to find out what new
features they would like to see added to our product, said Sam
Klepper, general manager of MSN TV at Microsoft. These new
capabilities will give our users additional digital media
options and e-mail
functionality.
(ii) Web Content Features. Under the Server Software’s default configuration, if you are connected to the Internet, several features of the Server Software are enabled by default to retrieve content from Microsoft computer systems and display it to you. When you activate such a feature, it uses standard Internet protocols, which transmit the type of operating system, browser and language code of your Server to the Microsoft computer system so that the content can be viewed properly from your Server. These features only operate when you activate them, and you may choose to switch them off or not use them. Examples of these features include Windows Catalog, Search Assistant, and the Headlines and Search features of Help and Support Center.
Microsoft An updated Photo home page makes it easier to view and manage
photos. Eight thumbnail images of the most recently viewed photos
are automatically displayed on the home page, whether they are
stored on a home-networked PC, in e-mail or on the MSN TV 2
Internet & Media Player. In addition, images embedded in e-mail
messages can be viewed directly in the Photos area, eliminating the
extra steps of downloading files and opening messages.
CyberLink Media Server opens access to video, photo, and music folders on a PC, while CyberLink SoftDMA detects media servers connected to the home network and acts as a player of shared media files. This allows users to install Media Server on one PC containing all their music, photo, and video files, and then access them from another computer using SoftDMA.
Laptop Computers This update also will give MSN TV 2 broadband and dial-up
customers more control over e-mail management than before. Users
can now have their MSN TV 2 player check for e-mail at scheduled
times and alert them to new messages via the message light on the
front of the MSN TV set-top box. In addition to receiving message
alerts, all subscribers can now read and check e-mail from other
providers (via POP e-mail retrieval) in their MSN TV mail inbox via
a computer and can create and manage group e-mail lists via their
e-mail address book.
