Default Microsoft Windows XP media Center Edition...

Has anyone had any problems with this OS? I've found that it crashes alot, and the onyl diff is that it has another program... Should I try and get XP Prof? or Home? or is it something simple to fix?

thanks.

it on my media center playing some lovely Chopin (Nocturne) as we speak
It does crash quite often probably once a week, thats with it running 24/7. The hdd is totally full and i find it quite slow sometimes.
If you dont need MCE then dont get it
