Windows Media Center gets channel logos, finally

Feb 20th 2009 4:09PM on Engadget HD

Microsoft has stated the reason for not including the logos is the requirement to go to each and every station to ask for permission to use their logo. Managing and keeping that set of legal agreements up-to-date would be costly. Thanks lawyers!

Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.

"All of these new nettops have me intrigued. I'm looking for a small, quiet and cheap PC to replace my aging tower in my home office, and all it really needs to do is load Microsoft Office, check email and surf the web.
