The latest Rollup package for Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005 has been posted to MSDN 24 hours before it will be made publically available on Windows Update.

In a dash to get this out, the descriptive text couldn't be more unclear as to what the 29mb update contains, because the Media Center web site currently houses no information on "Rollup 2".

Description
Update Rollup 2 for Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005 contains fixes and features to enhance Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005. For more information about Media Center or Update Rollup 2, please visit http://www.microsoft.com/mediacenter.

Those of you with MSDN subscriptions could grab this now, the rest will have to wait until tomorrow or until it appears on Windows/Microsoft Update (take your pick). Thanks go to Vla for the heads up on this update.

Dammit, when will they get on top of QAM support? I'm really needing that

My favorite thing about rollup 2 is the new zoom. There are now 4 zoom levels. Zoom 4 looks perfect on my HDTV. Since I'm running 16:9, when I watch TV it's 4:3 so I have to Zoom it to take up the whole screen. Zoom 4 is a combination Zoom + Stretch that looks superb.
