XboX 360 use like Apple Tv

[alfa147x]

I am planning on buying a falcon XboX 360 but I wanted would like to also use it as a Apple Tv would work, by pulling music, video, may be pictures from my Pc.

How can I do this, or should the question be can I do this at all?
Thanks!

Simple.

Download Windows Media Player 11. You have to add directorys to share.
***Make Sure Universal Plug and Play in on: Control Panel ---> Admin tools --->Services

I think that is it. microsoft xbox forums has a ton of info if you have problems or search here for it too but in the console section.

Well, you can use Windows Media Connect, but I don't think that lets you share videos. There are some other ways of doing it (there's a 3rd party app that does what you want I know). Also, I don't know that you have to use WMP, you just have to setup the sharing in it.

Vista Media Center will do what you're asking.

If already have MCE you can just use your xbox as an extender (for the most part).

You can use XP MCE too. I don't know if there's any difference with XP vs. Vista since I've only used an XBOX 360 as an extender with Vista.
