With Microsoft planning a transfer away from the HTPC house and a shift to Windows Media Center embedded merchandise, perhaps the gang at Moovida is trying to take Redmond's place in the residence theater geek segment. The corporate has unleashed a stupendous new media shopping UI known as 'Immersed' that's powered by a 3D recreation engine, a truth which makes its media middle bretheren look dowdy in comparison.
There is a steep value to pay for this digital eye candy, nevertheless, as the current version lacks the power to stream content -- so no Netflix, Hulu, or YouTube for you. Moovida's software also packs an underlying desktop-optimized UI, 'Core', that provides automated media backup and cataloging, syncs your music and video with peripherals, and plays any non-DRM content material identified to man. Presently in beta, Moovida promises higher performance in future releases and we are able to only hope meaning streaming capability is coming quickly, as in immediately.
