A few weeks before CES 2009 I sat down with Gabe Frost from the Windows team for a look at the new "Play To" feature in Windows 7.

One of the many awesome enhancements in Windows 7 is the support for Digital Living Network Alliance (DLNA) certified devices. Windows 7 will automatically find devices on your home network that are DLNA compliant (with the digital media renderer role) and allow you to right click photos, videos, recorded TV, or music and send it to another device like a Roku Sound Bridge radio, digital picture frame, or Extender for Windows Media Center (such as the Xbox 360) where it will immediately begin playing with full control.
