Microsoft has released the October 2008 Cumulative Update for Vista Media Center and for VMC TV Pack. No big surprises or new features to speak of but, for those having issues, this update should be quite welcome. It includes fixes for Media Center, extenders, DRM support and the all-too-common “protected content” message that has plagued many VMC users the past few months. Patches for the TV Pack cover several of the same issues as well as a few specific problems that have cropped up. Get all of the details from Chris Lanier.
