Tages Anzeiger today writes about using the PC as the digital media hub in the living room. The heat around the topic is picking up here in Switzerland - I saw many solutions showcased at last October's Orbit technology expo and there are going to be quite a few more hot products released to the market this year.

I would love to see Windows XP Media Center released in Switzerland - I have been using it's US version with some reduced functionality here for over a year and would not want to miss it for a single day now. By now it has completely replaced our FM radio receiver, DVD player, CD library with all CDs digitized and moved to the basement and even our TV guide magazine which we now only view online and it currently operates a video projector, a 17 inch flat panel and our TV set simultaneously.
