UK Microsoft Windows 7 Launches and Integrates Sky Player Online TV

Posted: 22nd Oct, 2009 By: MarkJ
windows7 logo Microsoft's next major computer operating system, Windows 7 - a follow-up to the somewhat shaky Windows Vista, has finally gone on sale around the world today. Unlike its predecessor, Windows 7 actually does appear to be a faster and smoother experience with lower requirements to run. It will also please SkyTV (BSkyB) subscribers with its surprise integration of their broadband video-on-demand Sky Player service.

The new licensing agreement means that BSkyB's Sky Player online TV service will now be directly integrated into the new Windows Media Center (here), offering existing Sky subscribers access to shows from more than 30 Sky channels via the special TV guide (EPG); a minimum 2Mbps connection speed is required. Non-Sky subscribers will have to pay a monthly fee to view the content.

Based on our own Beta and Release Candidate testing of Windows 7 over the past 12 months+, Microsoft's latest operating system looks to be a much better and faster performer than Windows Vista. I haven’t said anything like that since the release of Windows 2000 all those years back, which was a good OS. Most consumers will get Windows 7 with their next PC upgrade.
