Microsoft has launched UltimatePC.com, a new Web site touting the benefits of Windows Vista Ultimate as the center of a home entertainment system.

The Web site includes the Ultimate Home Theater Setup from Derek Flickinger, vice president of R & D for Interactive Homes, Inc. and friend of CE Pro.

In the setup, Flickinger outlines the ideal home entertainment system, from the foundation of a Media Center system to Media Center Extenders to the right remote control.

The products he chooses include Niveus Media's N9 Pro Series server and Digital Cable Receiver, APC's S20BLK uninterruptible power supply, McIntosh's MC501 power amps, AutonomicHome's Mirage control software and JVC's 70 inch HD-ILA TV.

Flickinger also shares his best practices for setting up and configuring a Media Center environment.

His advice on all of these can be downloaded from the UltimatePC site.
