Do+not+buy+Win+8

Another reason not to load Win 8

It's true that although there are plenty of neat toys in the new Release Preview of Windows 8, there is one glaring omission: Windows Media Center. We knew it was coming, but that doesn't make it any more pleasant for those of us who depend on WMC for our TV recording and other entertainment tasks.

Microsoft had already announced that WMC will be an extra add-on in the final edition of Windows 8. Rumor has it that it won't be free - but it won't be expensive Probably ranging from $10-$25.

The good news is that you can add WMC to the Release Preview of Windows 8 and you don't have to pay for it. In the Windows 8 Search box (which you get to by hovering on the upper-right corner of the screen), type **add features**. Then select **Add features to Windows 8**. You'll be asked to enter a product key; use the one provided in Rick Broida's article over on PC World, and follow his instructions to get your WMC back.
