Word is spreading that Microsoft is testing an add-on to Windows Media Center that would allow users to view the media content on their home computer on a mobile device. This could take away some of the hype that Slingbox has been getting especially at CES. Of course, with the Microsoft version, there are some drawbacks. The main one is that you have to have the content either recorded or recording on your computer in order to stream it. This means that there is no way to watch ‘live’ TV on your mobile device. Looks like they just won’t gain that edge over Slingbox.
