Windows Fiji - Windows Media Center TV Pack 2008 Leaked to Torrent Sites 

http://news.softpedia.com/images/news2/Windows-Fiji-Windows-Media-Center-TV-Pack-2008-Leaked-to-Torrent-Sites-2.png

Windows Media Center TV Pack 2008, labeled as codename Windows Fiji, throughout the development process, has been released to manufacturing in mid-July 2008. Designed as an upgrade for the Windows Media Center component of the Home Premium and Ultimate SKUs of Windows Vista, Windows Media Center TV Pack 2008 has been confirmed by Microsoft as an OEM-exclusive release. This means that Microsoft has no intention of serving the first Windows Media Center upgrade to end users running the Home Premium and Ultimate editions of the latest Windows client. However, despite this, Windows Fiji has been leaked to torrent websites and is now available for download from peer-to-peer networks.

Windows Media Center TV Pack 2008 was initially planned as the first major update of WMC, shipped by default with Vista Home Premium and Ultimate. In development since 2007, Windows Fiji ended up as a release available only to Microsoft's original equipment partners offering hardware products running Windows Media Center. Ben Reed, WMC product marketing manager, explained that Windows Media Center TV Pack 2008 would be served only to OEMs because of geography-specific technical and hardware requirements.

 I wish to add a few words for all MCE enthusiasts here.

In India this package has no utility,atleast right now,because it supports OCUR and we don't have that.But in US it has a different picture.

Once installed if one faces any problem then there is no provision to uninstall it.Honestly-absolutely nothing.Even you can NOT perform a system restore,SR won't help you to revert back to the scenario prior to this package installation.So you have to format the drive (if you take the image of your drive pior to this then it will be a smart move.)

This may be one of the major reasons why MS has not given permission to download this pack and it comes only with new OEMs.
