Microsoft Corp., in cooperation with co-sponsor Media Center Integrator Alliance, announced the 2009 Windows Media Center Ultimate Install Contest at EHX Spring 2009 in Orlando, FL. This industry design contest, now in its third year, seeks to recognize the residential integration business that best utilizes Windows Media Center in a custom home installation project. With the support of the newly formed Media Center Integrator Alliance, a group dedicated to driving awareness and adoption of Windows Media Center technologies in the custom channel, the third annual Ultimate Install Contest will represent the best of the best in the ecosystem.
Last year, the winner of the Window Media Center Ultimate Install Contest was a California home installation, designed and implemented by Los Gatos-based integration firm cyberManor. The system was created for a family in Sunnyvale, Calif., that desired a centralized, user-friendly entertainment and automation system. The result was a complete integration solution with Windows Media Center at the helm. |
