"In the announcement of the impending release of Windows 7 RC (basically the final beta), Microsoft on Wednesday confirmed a rumor that I first saw reported by Zack Whitaker of ZDNet last month: a new feature called Remote Media Streaming will let you access the music library on your home PC from another computer over the Web. It's like Slingbox, only instead of accessing the cable box or DVR sitting in your home, you're accessing the music files stored on your home PC."

This would be an excellent feature to implement to the Zune.  I mean, come on, the wi-fi is just asking for a killer application and this would be one of the few features that the iPod touch does not use its wi-fi for.  Of course, this is probably a pipe dream since this is in WMP rather that the Zune's software.

May just happen with the Zune software, With all the rumors about the Zune HD and the software update this month, it may just be this.

You can stream music from either iTunes or WinAmp to your iPod touch (or iPhone) using the free Simplify Media app (and accompanying free desktop software of course).

Doesn't WMP already do this? I mean, I can get at my PC's Library via my XBox, right? Isn't it just a matter of opening the right ports on the router to enable Internet streaming?
