Windows Vista Netflix Management Application
If applications like these are what’s in store with Windows Vista, then it makes me just a little more excited for the release of the next Microsoft OS. The screenshot is a Netflix management tool built on Avalon which works off of the Netflix RSS feeds. It looks slick, optimizing itself depending on what type of PC and screen resolution you are using.
Today at the Microsoft PDC keynote in Los Angeles, during the Jim Allchin keynote, Darryn Dieken, group program manager for Avalon demo’d an experimental Netflix application built on Avalon using Netflix’s pre-existing RSS feeds. The application was built by the design firm Rezn8 with design direction from two of us on the Media Center team.
Unfortunately, I am more of a Blockbuster Online kind of guy.

Blockbuster *makes* you buy the DVD if you have it for a month. It’s automatically charged to your account. Forget that. I use Netflix, and I sometimes wait for a few weeks until I watch the movie depending on my time. No problems here.

I heard Vista is going to have some crappy DRM stuff built in…

No wonder the “recommended” RAM is 1 GB and minimum is 512MB. It should be like 2 GB

Looks pretty amazing for the Netflix Application. That’d suck if they had the DRM protection thing on it. I’d just keep XP then.
