The Weather channel has made some changes, causing My Weather not to work anymore, this problem has been fixed now.
Under Windows XP, download WeatherXP.zip, unzip the file so you get weather.js and copy this file to: C:/Program Files/MCE-SAMConsult/Web News/Scripts/Weather.js
This should do it.
Under Windows Vista, download WeatherVista.zip, unzip the file so you get weather.js and copy this file to: C:/Program Files/MCE-SAMConsult/Web News/Scripts/Weather.js
Now create a folder MCE in the root of your C drive, c:/MCE
This should do it, anyway it works on my Vista laptop (Vista does not allow writing in the Program Files directory, so we create a directory outside).
Under Vista the More Programs is not part of Media Center anymore, but you can still install programs in the main menu of Media Center.

Two new pages have been added to the My Web News suite, My Videos and My Recordings. These pages jump directly to the Videos and Recordings directories and allow you to play videos and recordings either in MCE or in the Media Player on systems without MCE.
SetupPrograms has been changed so that the TV or movie continues playing if you start one of the programs from the My Web News suite, or MCE Outlook.
A French version of MCE Outlook is available thanks to Alain Praz who made the translation.

Panning and zooming has been added to MCE Outlook, My File Manager and My Readme Manager. 

New on April 2nd 2005:
When viewing local htm pages, the htm file is automattically transformed into a hosted HTML page, so you can view the page without problems. The hosted HTML file is a temporary file and will be deleted. This way you can create for example a webcam page and view the webcam using MCE. You can make direct entries to the page with "FileManager.htm?file=MyFile".
MCE Outlook is progressing, it will be a front end application to view Mails, Contacts, Appointments, Tasks and Notes. Later versions may include editing of entries and sending mail.
