Hi,

I was playing with a Dell with the media edition software on it last night. I like the way you can use the center with one button & then disable it to use windows regularly. Can you install this on a WinXP Pro machine & still keep the system as a WinXP Pro machine (or does it then become a media edition machine?).

Is the media edition a whole OS or just an addon to the existing OS?

Thanks,
Rich
 
MCE is a separate OS, so no you cant "upgrade" XP pro to have Media Centre functionality unfortunately. It needs to be installed as a fresh OS install, upgrading from other versions will cause problems I imagine.
