Microsoft plans to make available Windows Fiji/Windows Media Center TV Pack 2008 as an update to the default Windows Media Center components shipped with the Windows Vista Home Premium and Ultimate editions. The Redmond company has already started to include information about the new release of Windows Media Center in Knowledge Base articles.
