Sky Player for Windows 7 has now launched.

The announcement that Sky Player would move into Windows Media Center was one of many surprises from the Windows 7 launch. Although everyone was keeping tight lipped about the launch date, there had been rumours that it would be sometime in November, and in this case it was correct.

"Sky Player, Sky's online TV service launches on Windows 7 today creating a new and innovative way for people in the UK to watch live and on demand TV from Sky on a PC," said Sky's release yesterday.

"The service is simple and easy to use and gives Windows 7 users access to the wide range of high-quality live and on demand pay TV currently on Sky Player, which includes the latest blockbuster movies, live action sports, must see entertainment, programming dedicated to kids, music, the arts and thought provoking documentaries."
