@sharky - I haven't messed with it too much yet, other than to stream on wifi. I'll play with it a bit later on and see if I can figure it out. If I remember right, I have to have wifi turned on, just to set the default media server, though.

"My Samsung Omnia is DLNA compliant."

Does it have to be on the same WiFi network or can you stream music from your PC to your cellphone when you're 50 miles from your house?

"It's a shame that people can't have a discussion without the Crapple morons causing problems."

It's a shame people can't have a discussion without using phrases like "Crapple morons".

This will be pretty cool. My Samsung Omnia is DLNA compliant. I'll be looking forward to messing with the beta of 7 for this reason now, as well!

Here's a comparison of Windows 7 to Windows Vista and Windows XP. Yes, the beta is not a benchmarking build, but the results are promising and I am looking forward to playing around with the beta.

"Anyway, can the Play To feature conceivably work with any PC using just plain software and a home network Or does it have to have some special hardware?"

It should Play To anything that supports the industry standard DLNA (Digital Living Network Alliance) 1.5 digital media renderer standard. So any PC that has software that supports it should work as should any non-PC audio equipment.

Subject:

Windows 7 Play To (Updated: It works!)

first person (as usual) to derail the topic into a troll-a-thon?

"Paul, you're pretty childish. Lock the thread and then post an update? Childish..."

Oh yeah, Ocean again with a prissy complaint that mean old Paul posted an update to a previous story and wouldn't let this retard post his trollish "rebuttal".

Oh poor F'ing baby.

Anyway, can the Play To feature conceivably work with any PC using just plain software and a home network Or does it have to have some special hardware?

I love how the Apple fanboi trolls keep taking the bait that Paul serves up. They are the most thin-skinned fools ever.

I didn't see it on any front pages.

Second or third either. Seems that some are upset that it was covered at all.

@marc57 - Actually, there are morons on both sides of this mythical and immature OS war. I find that the closed minded are usually at the root of all of the bickering. Nice avatar, by the way. Kiss was my favorite back in the 70's!!!

I am guessing that when Paul mentioned the Mac/Apple community, he was talking about the people like robertsjoe posting immature babbles about something that they obviously had no stake in, other than an opportunity to bash MS. mikegalos and the other Apple bashers have and will pay back in kind at the first opportunity. ITs the mainstream press that really overblew this.

@Lindy - Were you or your company dogging on HP for a fix for this leap year bug for those iLO boards? Where was CNN and Fox News? I didn't see anything from them. Like you said, that proves that these things happen...and in the case of a media player, it is not that big of a deal...the iLO boards are not either...as long as you can still remotely manage your servers, wouldn't you agree?

Enough of that subject...lets see some more important and useful discussion here. How about it?
