My personal usage of Windows Media Center is very heavily weighed towards video & recorded TV. So much so that I often forget that Media Center has some really great features for displaying your photos & pictures. One of those features is the ability to create your own custom slide show and put it to music. And, all this can be done strictly with a Media Center remote.
Got your Windows Media Center PC connected to your TV? When you have family or friends over for the holidays or special gatherings, you can whip up a nice slide show to play in the background.

Fantasy sports have become a bit of a national obsession in the U.S. and a lot of us just can't get enough updates. Windows 7 Media Center gives you the ability to check out stats and updates of all your favorite baseball players from the Sports section. 
Media Center in Windows 7 records TV to your C drive by default. However, you do have the option to set Media Center to record TV to a different drive. It can be any drive attached to the PC, either external or secondary. Unfortunately, recording to a network share, even if it is a mounted drive, won't work.
