Sling Media released a beta of the SlingPlayer 2.0 beta for Windows.
SlingCommunity published a detailed review of the new SlingPlayer.

Quote from the review: "SlingPlayer for Windows 2.0 Public Beta is, on the surface, not entirely different than the SlingPlayer of yore. Yet, when you first start using it, it will feel strangely foreign.
Nearly everything in SlingPlayer has been given the royal treatment. Sling Media's "slickness" department (I made that up, by the way) has gone a little crazy; this software is tight... like OS X tight. It sports fading effects, sliding windows, videos and demos... the whole she-bang."
