Windows XP White Papers

World's Largest News Source Enters Interactive TV Market With Media Center

Overview Reuters, the world's largest multimedia news company, is known for its speed, accuracy, and freedom from bias. In 2004, Reuters filed over 2.5 million news items, published in 18 languages, from 209 countries. Although historically a wholesaler of news content, Reuters wanted to explore new ways of distributing news directly to consumers through the use of interactive platforms. Reuters chose to use the Microsoft Windows XP Media Center Edition Version 2005 operating system because of the low cost and quick time-to-market of developing applications. Viewers can now watch video streams of over 200 news clips a day, including breaking news, on demand, through their Windows XP Media Center Edition - based PC.
