HP MediaSmart Server and Flash demo usability

A nice feature on the HP Media Server flash demo is the ability to mute the volume on the demo before it starts playing. It’s an impressive yet simple touch that saved me having to turn off my own music.

If you work in a shared office I’m sure at some stage you’ve come to a website where the music or narration started playing automatically and never gave you a choice?

If HP have put this level of thought into my online experience then I’m interested
in exploring their actual physical MediaSmart Server. Poor usability and design is the bain of my tech life so here’s a few free links for making such a thoughtful gesture.
