Microsoft Plus Digital Media Edition – Old Version by Microsoft

Description

Microsoft typically supplements its operating systems with a retail grab bag of utilities and entertainment-oriented applications called Microsoft Plus. For Windows XP, it has released not one but two such packages. The latest, Microsoft Plus Digital Media Edition, sports nearly a dozen perks, toys and tools for those who use their PC as a multimedia companion. Though some will find the program packs its fair share of incidental “fluff”, anyone into photos, video or music will undoubtedly find several components both useful and enjoyable.
