WinXP version

[Eric]

Hello,

I am looking for a link/table comparing WinXP Pro, Home and Media Center. I
am pretty sure I had found one a while ago on the MS site but I can't find
it again...

Thank you.

Eric.

Arnando,

I was looking more for something like this
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/pro/howtobuy/choosing2.mspx, but with
Media Center included...

Thanks.

Eric.

Hello Eric,

Windows XP Media Center Edition includes all the features of Windows X Professional (minus joining
domains) plus the extra media centric capabilities which can be found here:

Media Center is a completely different product which cannot be directly
compared with XP products.

Try this:

Media Center is a completely different product which cannot be directly
compared with XP products.

That is not correct. Media Center is built on XP Pro, with the
ability to join a domain removed and additional multimedia
capabilities added.

Grossly incorrect. Windows XP Media Center Edition is built upon Windows XP Professional. It
includes additional media capabilities and has a very nice consumer product-like user experience.

directly compared with XP products.

This is *not* correct. Media Center Edition is a version of Windows XP, and
thus can be readily compared to the other XP versions. It is Windows XP
Professional plus a bunch of extra media-related features, and minus one
feature, the ability to join a domain.
