Marketed as "The Ultimate Photo, Music, and Movie Enhancement Pack for Windows XP", Microsoft launched Plus! Digital Media Edition along with Windows XP Media Center Edition. Plus! Digital Media Edition signified the first time Microsoft had released a second Plus! product based on the same base operating system. Microsoft Plus! Digital Media Edition was also the first Microsoft product to be made available for sale to consumers via e-commerce as full product download through online retailers.
Released on January 7, 2003, Plus! Digital Media Edition built upon two newly enhanced Windows XP core components: Windows Media Player and Windows Movie Maker 2. This product version focused more on utility features for photos, music and movies rather than including the more traditional Plus! features like themes, screen savers, and games.
Plus! Digital Media Edition includes:
Plus! Photo Story 2
Plus! Party Mode
Plus! Analog Recorder
Plus! CD Label Maker
Plus! Dancer
Plus! Audio Converter
Plus! Effects and Transitions for Windows Movie Maker 2
Plus! Alarm Clock
Plus! Sleep Timer
Plus! Skins for Windows Media Player 9 Series
Plus! Sync & Go for Pocket PC
Microsoft Plus! Digital Media Edition is the only version of Microsoft Plus! to require activation.
