| 443367 | 2006-04-03 06:20:00 | Can Windows XP Media Centre Edition be used as a normal PC (such as loading on and playing Steam and its games (Half life, Day Of Defeat,..)), or can it only be used to play media files? I am thinking of getting a copy, because it is cheaper than XP Pro/Home, and my computer only has Ubuntu Linux on it right now, and I would rather use XP. |

| 443368 | 2006-04-03 06:38:00 | Yes it can be used as a normal PC BUT it does require special hardware to make use of the media center part of it. | CYaBro (73) | ||

| 443371 | 2006-04-04 09:32:00 | Whats the big deal about Windows Media Center . (besides maybe being cheaper than Home or Pro)? You could basically do the same thing by just using a tuner, which usually comes with remote, and use Nero 6 / 7 which has Nero Home . These will let you burn pics/video . And the TV tuner program (well some of them, that come with a program), will let you record whatever as MPegs etc . Then you can burn them as DVD's . And you can schedule programs to record, and set it so it turns the computer off after . |
