Media Center

[omgDAN!]

So what's the deal with media center?

Are microsoft still supporting it?

Any links?

I've searched and google'd but can't find anything useful.

Thanks.

Why wouldnt they be? ;/

[Concentric2]

Because they might want people to move to the Vista version

Media center is the worst version of XP, terrible for gaming too.

Oh noooo its what I have ;/
I think u can buy it on amazon or ebay or something with seals unbroken

Microsoft still support all the XP's? :x They will do till the end of this year then next year as far as im aware they wont.

[alexxxxx]

They're supporting it for a fair few more years. They only stopped supporting 98+ME last year.

[VPSwow]

XP's are still getting sold aswell... so it will deffinatly a few more years before it stops getting supported.

[Rix]

Media Center is just fine for gaming, what's your problem?


And they will be supporting XP for a VERY long time seeing as it is still VERY popular..



Oh, and sorry for bumping.

Media Center is **** for gaming.

Its always running uneeded processes, its support for Graphics isn't very good and all games don't run as well on MCE than they would Pro.

[GommeInc]

Is the gaming problem actually with Media Centre, or with your computers hardware?

[Tawmu]

When I moved from Pro to MCE its performace dropped quite a bit. Soon enough im going back over to Pro.

If you read the other thread in Microsoft + Windows it has info that microsoft wont be supporting XP at the end of the year no matter customers demand. ;)
