Not quite shipping with "every copy." As I understand, the Media Center niceties only come on Vista Home Premium and Ultimate–not Home Basic or Business. Not quite shipping with “every copy.”

According to the WebFives homepage, they are "turning off" the service at the end of the year and existing users are encouraged to re-download their own content if they want to keep it. Sure no problem if you've only uploaded a video or two or a handful of pictures but a huge deal if someone has invested a lot of time or energy in uploading a lot of content. Can you imagine if Flickr told everyone that all their uploaded photos would be deleted as a result of the Yahoo purchase? I'm sure glad I never used Webfives...
