CyberLink Corporation (TSE:5203.TW) is pleased to announce that PowerDVD will be utilized by Microsoft Corp. in a demonstration of their newest version of Windows Media Center, for Windows 7.

CyberLink has been working closely with Microsoft to support many of the advanced capabilities of Windows 7.
