Microsoft has started taking beta-tester applications for the next update to Windows, an upgrade to the Windows Media Center functionality within Vista. Dubbed ‘Fiji’ by some, it will not be a separate operating system, a la Windows Vista, but instead an update atop Vista, according to messages posted at Green Button a site dedicated to Media Center.
