Multichannel News, July, 2002 by Stump, Matt
Microsoft Corp. has set Sept. 4 as the beta launch date for its new Windows Media 9 Series suite of products, which had been using the code name Corona during the past year. "It's the next generation digital media platform, with player, codecs, server and new software development kit," said Michael Aldridge, lead product manager for Windows Digital Media division at Microsoft.
The new media player server promises to double the amount of video and audio streams content providers can send out to Web users, as well as making video access a better and quicker experience for consumers.
Windows Media 9 Series includes new video and audio codecs, but the platform is backwards-compatible with the existing Windows Media Player.
