Windows Forum / Windows Media / Devices / October 2004How does this compare to the Media Center Edition 2005
Does Windows Media Connect for XP give me the same functionality for working with Media Center Extenders as MCE 2005? Does this mean I do not have to install a Media Center Edition PC just to use the Media Extenders (like the add-on coming for XBOX). Does any Media Extender device that says requires Media Center Edition also work with Windows Media Connect for XP? Media Center Extenders extend the experience of a Media Center PC to a TV in another room. Windows Media Connect allows you to share out content with UPnP-AV recievers on your home network. Media Center Extenders are not UPnP AV Recievers.  SignatureAlan Ludwig Software Design Engineer Windows Media Devices Group Microsoft Corp. P.S.

Thank you for the response. But OMG. This is unbelievably confusing. Guys, it should not be this hard. Why are you trying to confuse the consumers? There is no way this stuff will take off with all of these seemingly competitive technologies and insane requirements on pseduo OS's (MSMC). This market could have been simplified and unified, but instead we have a mess of technologies thrown at the poor consumer. Oh well, maybe in a couple years things will settle down and converge into a reasonable offering. > Media Center Extenders extend the experience of a Media Center PC to a TV > in another room.
