Roxio dropped a press release to celebrate the award:

Easy Media Creator 10 is available at www.roxio.com and in retail stores throughout North America for a suggested retail price of $99.99.

Easy Media Creator 10 is the premier video package for Windows with official TiVoToGo support.

Reader Richard Hay sent me a tip on a new TiVo Gadget for Windows Vista. See the full post for all of the installation and feature details, but here’s the post’s feature summary:

• Configure Folders if you want shows from the same series to be grouped together (like Kitchen Nightmares in the screenshot).
• When the gadget notices a new recording, it will ding (if you have sound enabled).
• If you configure more than one TiVo, click the friendly name of the unit (like Downstairs in the screenshot) to switch to the next unit.
• Click the name of the show to see its description. The details flyout will contain more data in a future version…just didn’t have time to add it for the first release.
• Your settings will survive a gadget removal/add thanks to Todd Northrop’s handy Settings Manager for Windows Vista Sidebar Gadgets.
• When the gadget refreshes its data, it will close any groups that are open. While not technically a bug, it is annoying, and I hope to improve this later.

I don’t have a Windows Vista machine, but this does look like a nifty Gadget. If you try it out, leave a comment with your impressions.
