Microsoft Goes Freestyle
Microsoft introduces Freestyle, a new interface for extended PC media experiences.
You’ll be able to use the “Freestyle” full-screen view to comfortably enjoy video, audio, pictures, and television on your PC monitor or TV display.
My first thought was, “How can I comfortably enjoy my music when I can only see it 9 albums at a time?” Then I realized that this technology was designed for group interaction on a TV display. Hopefully they’ll come up with something a little more information dense and usable. When I’m trying to find music, I could care less what the album cover looks like. Just show me the name of the album! I think something more along the lines of a television program schedule display would be more appropriate, like those used for Dish Network, TiVo, etc. (via nooface)
