Windows XP Media Center Edition ’05, everybody’s favorite?
Hardware Analysis’ looks at Windows Media Center Edition ’05 brings out some of the ugly it. Worth a read especially if you are considering getting a PC based on it.
"I’m sure you’ve heard about Microsoft’s Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005 already, the new and fantastic operating system that will finally make the PC a must have item in every living room. In reality we feel that Media Center Edition 2005 is far from deserving to replace our VCR, DVD player/recorder or photo album for that matter. Why? Simply because the added Media Center functionality is far from flexible and simply can’t keep pace with many of the features offered on devices costing only a fraction of a Media Center Edition 2005 PC. Because honestly if you pay up to $1500 for a Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005 PC you’d think it includes everything you’d possibly need or would want to use, well, I hate to break it to you, but it doesn’t."
