AMD Live! Explorer beta: Browser for desktop and online media
AMD Live! Explorer provides you with yet another way to view photos, music, and movies stored on your computer.

If you have a TV tuner and Windows Media Center on your PC, you can also watch live and recorded TV shows.
You can also download several AMD Live! Applications from within Live! Explorer, including a tool for transferring recorded TV shows to a portable device, and another tool that synchronizes your iTunes and Windows Media Player libraries.

AMD Live doesn't run on 64 bit Vista. This seems stupid seeing as if you have a high speed processor you are more likely to run 64.
Oh well :(

Why couldn't they just put this experience in WMC itself? Media Center has a SDK to allow developers to use, and I could see this fitting into Media Center, instead of some other bizarre software.
The only compelling thing, besides the fancy thumbnails is the web browser. I can't wait to see a web browser in the next WMC refresh.
