I am currently using Windows XP Media Center 2002 but would like to
upgrade to Media Center 2005. Is this possible and if so how do I go
about doing so? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in
advance.

Did you try Windows Update? I think you can get the upgrade there (if
memory serves).

I take this back. It seems that you CANNOT upgrade from one version of
MCE to another, although you can buy a new version of the OS and
clean-install it.

You would have to get a OEM version of Windows Media Center 2005 and
do a clean install. Note: stores like bestbuy don't sell it because
you have to be licensed to sell and install it. You are better off
upgrading to Vista Home Premium or Ulitmate.
