Microsoft has quietly enabled the MSN Remote Record feature for its Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005 operating system, a customised version of Windows XP that enabled users to watch and record television shows on their computers.

Users now can instruct the software to record a show through the internet. That feature should appeal to TV junkies who are travelling and don't want to miss their favorite shows, but more importantly allows them to search the electronic programming guide with MSN's search engine.
