Abstract

A method, system, and medium are provided for receiving content that has features, which are supportable using capabilities of a computing device. On the computing device, an application is installed or removed. A determination is made as to whether the installation or removal changed an ability of the computing device to support content having certain features. The computing device provides to an interface an indication that describes an ability of the computing device to support content features. The indication is usable by the interface to facilitate an exchange of information between the computing device and a content server.
