Windows XP Home? Or Media edition?

Spi1lz · 04-21-2006, 02:10 AM

What is the difference?

And which one is better?

i would get media center because you can add tv tuners and stuff to your pc if you ever felt like it and then burn what you record to a dvd if you have a dvd burner

i'd say PRO actually, between the 2, Home.

Well, I have Windows XP Home Edition and I do that stuff so you don't need Media Center to have TV Tuner/s.

I don't know how many times have I reformated my HDD and installed Pro or Home Edition but whenever I run benchmarks I get a higher score with Home Edition and it boots quicker (around 5 seconds quicker).

So...

There's Home, Pro, and Media...

What are the differences?

Comparison - Home Edition and Pro

EDIT:

Another link

Yet another link - Including Media Center

So, I might as well go with Media Center?

I would go with Media Center. I have media center on two computers, 2000 on one laptop, Pro on one laptop and Home on another computer. I prefer the Media Center one.

Media Center lets you have more than one TV Tuner.

XP Media Center is alot better than Home. It includes many features that are in pro, but arent in home.
