I’ve got a few pointers for anyone who can’t find where the simple link to the Online Spotlight went in Vista Media Center.

You can go to….

TV + Movies | More TV

or

Music | More Music

or

Pictures+Video | More Pictures (What no More Video?)

or

Online Media | What’s New

or

Online Media | Browse Categories

or

Tasks | More Tasks

So, if you find yourself without quick access to the Online Spotlight in Media Center 2005 you will want Vista for sure.  I think you have like a 75% chance of being on a tile that brings you to the Online Spotlight at all times.

Thoughts?  Clearly this is overdone and needs reconsideration.  I’m sure that the Online Spotlight will be redesigned for Vista, but it better be a huge redesign to warrant all of those access methods.
