Wooo! The advert isnt here this time!
Will media center for normal built pc ever be available? Mabey you buy the pack with all the accessories, like the TV card and remote. Those media center PCs are poop for the price, yet i like the concept of the remote control, instead of carrying my keyboard around...... :t

Media Center is just XP pro, with specific hardware and software installed. :t

I'm still worried. And the fact that it's on XPpro make it worse. Pro should only be use if you have a compatiblity problem or a duel CPU board. I heard that Pro is a 'down-upgrade.':(

Pro is better than Home. Home is Pro with some key features removed. Mostly security & advanced processor support.

I'd use Home anyway. Heard much better things about it. But I would never switch to XP given the choice between that and 2000.:t
