It's a busy week for Microsoft...
As we hit the 'official' global launch for Windows 7 today (the national postal strike brought it to the UK early), Microsoft has brought us one additional surprise for its next generation OS: Sky TV.
A licensing deal sees Windows Media Center in 7 now integrate Sky Player - the broadcaster's online TV service and tie up a double header with the recent Xbox 360 Sky TV agreement. Existing Sky subscribers will be able to log in and get access to programming from over 30 Sky channels via an integrative TV EPG. If you aren't already a Sky subscriber on-demand content is offered for a monthly subscription.
