Rating: - XP MCE 2005 Review
Well I got it with my last PC and it was brilliant. Great for those who want the multimedia benefits of Vista but with out the stupid system requirements to run it smoothly.

The theme used for MCE is brilliant. A much sleeker looking theme that's easy on the eye. Normal XP users can download it. Just type in Royale Theme on google ;)

The media centre part of it is really cool aswell. It's similar to the one's found in Vista. Slick, quick and stable.

MCE is ... Read More

Rating: - Consider the OSD Media Centre instead of WMC
Paying near 70 quid for an old Windows version that in turns needs half a gigabyte of ram and excels with a one Ghz or faster CPU just to create a media centre is a bit too much for my budget.

In fact, a new Youtube video browser has been ... Read More

Rating: - Poor quality disk
I don't know where Amazon sourced this package but it must be from a batch of rejected items sent back to Microsoft. The disks provided produced numerous copy errors and corrupt installation attempts. After 2 days of checking my hardware I finally established that the disks were faulty and in fact disk one had a visible damaged error near the edge.

Mine may have been an exception but I wouldn't recommend risking a purchase given the availability of the other packages on sale especially with ... Read More
