WMC was popular with users however, it was discontin- ued in 2015 due to changes in the market and multimedia technologies. WMC is not included with either Windows 8 or Windows 10. It is supported as a paid add-on for Windows 8.1. With Windows Media Center, you could edit digital movies modify or adjust digital photos and record, copy, and create DVDs. If your PC is running Windows 7 or 8 and has a television tuner card installed, you can also watch live television. WMC is not offi cially supported on Windows 10. Streaming services and third-party media applications provide similar feature sets to WMC that have re- placed the need for Microsoft to provide a dedicated tool. If you are upgrading a system from Windows 7 to Windows 10, Windows Media Center will be removed and Windows DVD Player will be downloaded and installed in its place. With the advent of modern streaming services and third-party, multimedia applications, Microsoft chose not to continue with a dedicated media tool suite for Windows 10. Windows Mobility Center Windows Mobility Center provides a central location for accessing the most com- monly used features for laptops, such as presentation confi gurations for a projector and energy conservation confi gurations. It also automatically confi gures common network connections, such as for the home, offi ce, or work location. Windows Mobility Center, as viewed in Windows 10, can be seen in Figure 2-17. Th e Windows Hot Start feature allows a laptop to start a selected program with the touch of a single button. Th ere is no need to wait long periods of time while the program is located, opened, and loaded into memory. It will start an application directly out of sleep mode or hibernation and even when the computer has been turned off . Th e feature was designed specifi cally for mobile PCs. Collaboration Tools For collaboration, the older Windows Meeting Space has been replaced by Skype and Skype for Business. Skype is designed for video and text collaborating over a network with features such as instant message, voice, video chat, screen sharing, and con- ference calls. Windows 7 continued support for another collaboration tool, People Near Me, but that was phased out for Windows 8. Since 2011 with its acquisition by Microsoft, Skype has replaced Meeting Space and other legacy solutions for collabo- ration. Th e main diff erence between Skype and Skype for Business is that the former is designed for individual users and the latter has additional features for enterprise and business users.
