(5203.TW), a world leader in digital home solutions, today announced the launch of CyberLink Media Deluxe, its plug-ins for Microsoft Vista Media Center, entertainment and personal creativity products. Designed to seamlessly integrate with and augment Windows Vista Media Center, CyberLink Media Deluxe provides a consistent look and feel while adding greater functionality and expanded entertainment options. Media Deluxe lets users capture videos, edit videos and photos automatically, create slideshows, create sports highlight clips, author and burn discs, and share files throughout their personal network. "Vista represents a major upgrade for Media Center PCs and CyberLink Media Deluxe is designed to enhance the experience even more," said Alice H. Chang, CEO of CyberLink. "Adding to Vista's entertainment features, CyberLink Media Deluxe gives users the tools to create media entertainment and enjoy it from anywhere in the home.""</i><br /><br /> <img src="http://www.digitalmediathoughts.com/images/down_33_342_1.gif" /><br /><br />This looks like a very comprehensive software suite, but it begs the question: why? With Windows Movie Maker, Windows DVD Maker, and Media Center, you can do almost all of these things within Vista already. It seems that a lot of companies like this are being obsoleted by Vista's built-in functionality.

Which begs the question, why introduce this stuff *now* and not before, when it was needed?

Two answers:

1) There's still a large installed base of Windows XP users.
2) They have to differentiate themselves from the programs built into Windows somehow to stay in business. Do something that Windows doesn't. If they don't, they'll be closing up shop before the end of the year.
