The image helps provide a screenshot for the Windows Media Center section to the media center application article, and helps some people understand similarities and differences among other media center applications. Not using the image makes it harder to adequately compare the software among others of it’s kind. |
| Minimal use (WP:NFCC#3) | Not possible; the entire WMC app has to be shown, to provide context. Cropping the image won’t provide how elements in the image such as in the vertical scrolling home page flow together. |
| Respect for commercial opportunities (WP:NFCC#2) |
The image showcases the software on the article's section about Windows Media Center and is not used elsewhere in the article. Using the image on unrelated sections of other articles will be against the original purpose of Microsoft’s intention, the software and image and will also not be used for commercial opportunities like advertising. |
