Audio and Pictures worked, video did not, since there was no option under "Video" to connect to a computer to get the media (like there was for Audio and Pictures). I tried "Media Center" but that doesn't work at all without MCE. Essentially, this does nothing that Windows Media Connect didn't already do. This is just merging WMC with Media Player. The WMP 11 page is lying to us (for now). I wish they'd get over this arbitrary limitation and just allow us to stream video to the 360. Technically, there's no reason why it shouldn't be possible. They just want to "encourage" people to "upgrade" to MCE or Vista when it comes out (since that capability will be included). I tried this last night.
