Re: [XP Pro] Problems with MS SP3 Installion on a HP Pavilion

In short, the Media Center is actually XP Pro bundled with multimedia features.
Which version of MCE are you referring to, as your claim above as a general statement is not true for MCE 2005 for example.
One of the distinguishing differences between XP Home and XP Pro is whether the Simple File Sharing GUI is optional or Mandatory; and whether the box can be joined to a Domain.
By my lights, MCE 2005 is not based on XP Pro.

Chattanooga, TN | I can attest to what bcastner is saying. I have MCE 2005 and it is not XP Pro. |
