 The
recent launch of Windows ME (WM) is great news for anyone
working or playing on a computer at home. Quite unlike other
operating systems, this system is designed specifically for
home users, making it easier to work with video, audio, and
photos.
WM enables the user to explore the Digital World
WM is developed around four themes: PC health, home
networking, the online experience, and digital media.
This software works out as the optimal platform for users who
want access to the full range of activities offered on the Internet.
Bringing cutting-edge technology to users with little or no
technology experience is one of the strongest features of WM,
according to Art Pettigrue, product manager for WM at Microsoft.
"I think what we're seeing today is the evolution of
a new digital world," he says. He also adds that WM's digital
media enhancements brings a whole new world to everyday home
PC users, so that they can take advantage of some phenomenal
new technology. WM is updated for the latest technology and
that makes the product ideal for finding, organizing, creating,
and playing digital movies, music, pictures, and games.
Making Movies with WM
 Microsoft
focused on developing and enhancing the digital media features
throughout the process of developing WM. This resulted in the
user being able to take advantage of the latest computing scenarios.
With WM, the user can be creative enough, organize and share
information as per his personal interests.
WM Movie Maker allows the user to digitize and edit home movies
retrieved from a number of sources like the Internet (e-mail),
a digital video camera, an analog video camera or a VCR. Using
a single cable, users can import videos to Movie Maker by clicking
a Record button, selecting the camera as the video source.
The Sound of Music
Music is another important feature of WM. Windows Media Player
7 makes it easy to get music, organize it, and stores it
in a natural way. With Windows Media Player 7, users can listen
to music from the Internet without having to download anything
to their hard drive. Once users are ready to download, however,
Windows Media Player 7 offers a number of options for storing,
sharing, and listening to audio files. The Copy Music feature
lets the user to transfer music from an audio CD to digital
tracks stored on the hard disk.
Lot more to come…
According to a Microsoft official, the company is working closely
with other companies to make sure that WM works seamlessly with
other digital media-enabled products.
