Many users and developers from the current Windows Media Center in Windows 7 ask yourself the question as to the WMC in Windows 8 continues. Here is the preview of Windows Consumer 8 on just before the publication 29. February 2012.
In many Forums and blog has been discussed already so hot about it. Nevertheless, I would like to leave you my personal opinion, because we the WMC on desktop PC and HTPC daily use.
The consumer is, according to official preview Microsoft MSDN Blog Building Windows 8 already include a "Photos", "Music" and "Videos" Modern App (also Metro App) contain. In its current form is still available as a desktop application, the WMC. However, the old surface accounts for the year 2009 the WMC under the new Metro design language so my opinion does not make sense.
