Windows Media Center was a full-screen media player and video recorder designed for use on home theater PCs. It competed against digital recording devices like the Tivo.
Media Center was intended to be something that home users could install and configure themselves on commodity PC equipment. However, cable companies locked their services down, and only made cable decoding devices available to OEMs.
Microsoft also failed to realize that the real money would come from raping user's personal information like modern Smart TVs do.
