XP,XP,XP will they all work together

Anyone know if XP home and XP pro programs are compatible with XP media
center 2005. Could security updates create a problem?
I just bought a new comp with XP media center and can’t reformat the drive
because of the warranty. But I’d like to have the addition programs XP home
and XP pro offer.

Media Center *is* XP Pro. The following information came from Office
2000's Help About window...


OS Name Microsoft Windows XP Professional
Version 5.1.2600 Service Pack 2 Build 2600

What additional programs? You have it backwards. XP Media Center Edition has
everything in XP Professional (except the ability to join a domain) plus its
extra media-related features.
