Windows XP Pro w/sp2 (not upgrade) - $146

Its an OEM, but its exactly the same as the retail version except it only includes the CD and a brief booklet.

that looks like a good buy. i'd go with that.

just wondering, what do you hate so much about media center, you still have windows xp there.

Ask around your school or college for student discounts, if you still go.
