TV and Movies

Whether you're at home or traveling, sometimes all you want to do is relax and watch a movie or your favorite TV show. Rather than having to choose from whatever is on TV at the moment, wouldn't it be great if you could watch exactly what you want to see? With Windows Vista, you can.

Combined with complementary products, Windows Vista Home Premium and Ultimate enable you to choose your entertainment, as well as where and when you view it. And it's so easy to use, you'll probably never need (or want) to bother with a VCR again.

You can enjoy your entertainment up close on your computer or from across the room on your television. You can find and record programs using a remote control and download TV or movies from the Internet. When you're traveling, you can use your laptop or a variety of mobile entertainment devices to watch your TV and movies.

And you can have all of this, along with the power of a great Windows PC.
