anong advantage nito sa Win XP Pro? i'm planning kasi to reinstall the OS in my PC. kung mas ok ang media center ed, ito nalang ang install ko. baka hindi pa kasi kayanin ng system ko ang vista.

February 3rd, 2007 05:47 PM #2If you plan to use your desktop as a "digital hub" at home then choose Media Center... If you are using it for business, mission critical apps, and you will connect to a domain/server-client set-up use XP Pro...

February 3rd, 2007 07:15 PM #6If I remember correctly, you need to have a tv tuner that's supported by MS Media Center and the remote. Originally Posted by boybi

February 3rd, 2007 09:09 PM #8That depends. How much of XP Pro's unique features do you actually use at home? I can't remember much of XP Pro's unique functions besides Backup and support for 2 cpus. Originally Posted by boybi

February 3rd, 2007 11:32 PM #9Yeah you lose business networking functions... For me having a Media Center OS is a downgrade on the point of price of OEM (8,000 for Pro, 7,000 for Media Center)...

February 4th, 2007 10:41 AM #15MCE should be based off XP Pro without the domain functions. I don't have it here. So, I'm wondering if someone knows if it has the Backup application found in XP Pro?
As for stability, I see no difference between XP Home, Pro, or MCE. They're all fine to me.

February 4th, 2007 11:36 AM #17I'd say, yeah. I would've bought MCE instead of XP Home or Pro if it was available back in 2001. Originally Posted by boybi

February 4th, 2007 12:26 PM #19Previous versions of Windows XP MCE were based off XP Pro. Logic says v.2005 should be too. But, it's hard to find if features of XP Pro such as dual physical cpu support and that Backup app also made it to MCE 2005. Originally Posted by boybi
