Yes, Media Center is a super-set of XP Pro. Here is a link to a
comparison between the different editions which may be helpful:

Yes, with a single exception: the ability to join a domain is missing from
MCE. Since MCE is used almost exclusively in homes, and since few home users
need to join a domain, that's very seldom an issue for anyone.

or if it is other XP version like Home Edition

No.


or Pro.

Yes, as I said above.

I also found you cannot use the autodialer in media center, and had some
issues with access programming on media center (producing runtimes.)
