Patch Lady – what about media center?
Posted on January 3, 2020 at 22:32 CST by Susan Bradley • Comment in the ForumsFor those of you that still rely on Windows media center, I see some folks saying that they are buying extended support updates for Windows 7 because they still just love that platform.
Others have moved on and are now using other alternatives such as Plex, Synology platforms, Kodi and others.
What about you? Are you still using Windows Media Center and what are your plans after January of 2020?
