VAIO Entertainment Platform
What is VAIO Entertainment Platform?
VAIO Entertainment Platform provides the ability to share digital media such as MP3s, videos, etc. on a home/local network. It is used by the VAIO Media application to catalog media files and uses Microsoft SQL Server Express as its database.
Overview
It is bundled and preinstalled with various Sony computers. The most used version is 3.6.0.09150, with over 98% of all installations currently using this version. It adds a background controller service that is set to automatically run. Delaying the start of this service is possible through the service manager. The software is designed to connect to the Internet and adds a Windows Firewall exception in order to do so without being interfered with. The software installer includes 85 files and is usually about 13.56 MB (14,221,895 bytes).
VAIO Entertainment Platform is pre-installed on the PC
Such software is installed by the manufacture when delivering the PC to the end user. Some pre-installed programs are considered bloatware as they are simply limited function trials, while others are required for proper PC operation.
