Earlier this week we were treated to a whole host of screenshots of MCE (Media Center Edition) v1.5 beta 2. Tonight we've learned that Tech-critic have leaked a build of this version numbered 5.1.2600.1347.

According to Tech-Critic the version will be posted as a HTTP download link for all to download. This product is still considered as Beta and is in development currently in many countries included the United States, UK and France. Media Center Edition 1.5 is an interim update between the original Media Center Edition and MCE v2.0 due the beginning of next year or very late this year. It appears from the previous screenshots that this build is in early development and shows some great updates for those who have Media Center PCs.

The bank sent out this information, it said, because the latest Microsoft browser could be required to ensure compatibility with security certificates, which are required to guarantee the authenticity of a secure Web site. "Later this year FirstDirect will be renewing its own security certificate and if you do not upgrade now it could result in some compatibility issues with our online services," said the bank.

it may have been a good idea for the person who leaked it not to be so easy to trace...

#9.1 WangsDeli on 09 Jun 2003 - 06:06

How are they easy to trace?

#9.2 trashcanglam on 09 Jun 2003 - 13:01

#11 mcguirexn on 07 Jun 2003 - 22:11

#12 AshUK on 07 Jun 2003 - 23:14

hmm, I set up my TV but when I go to watch it I get a grainy screen as if no cable is attached, FM Radio works fine tho

Edit: OK I found the problem, had to edit the channel numbers manually
