Windows Forum / Windows XP / Customization / November 2005XP Media Center Edition ??
Could anyone explain what this edition entails, or better yet what basic functionality/support might be missing ? Thanks.

Media Center is the same as XP Professional, plus additional media features, and minus the ability to join a domain. Other than that lack of ability to join a domain, nothing is missing.

I don't know why Kurttrail said there was no support for it unless he meant that since Media Center comes only preinstalled on Media Center hardware by OEM's (HP, Dell, etc.) the support for the computer itself must come from the OEM. An XP Media Center pc gets its Windows Updates just like all the other XP editions.

"Produkt-Aktivierung macht frei" OEM editions of Windows receive all patches, hotfixes, service packs, and optional downloads from Microsoft Update. In that respect there is no difference between OEM and retail editions of Windows products. MCE is an OEM edition of Windows (as is XP Pro x64) because of device and device driver dependencies that Microsoft believes can only be addressed properly by system builders.
