XP Pro or Windows Media Center? - kosaic - 2006-11-21

Hi All,

I'm fairly new to XBMC, but I was wondering the following.

I currently have Vista installed, but due to the SMB issues, I'm reformatting today ..

Question is, from a purely media perspective, is there any advantage to installing Windows Media Center on my PC? or should I just go XP Pro?

I'll be sharing pictures, music, videos, etc to my xbmc ..

I have an MSDN license, so either is easy for me to grab.

Any direction would be appreciated.

D

oh, and a new build of smbclient is in svn now, and it supports vista... so a build should appear soon with it

If you have a TV card, you can play the TV MCE records on XBMC
