The Media Center Show #88 – Mike Newell (Microsoft)

It's thursday again, and right on schedule, Ian Dixon has released another excellent Media Center Show Podcast. This week, Ian grills Mike Newell, a Program Manager for the eHome team, and they talk about all sorts of things. The eHome team has always been great at being open with the community, so it's good to see they're not shy either 😉
