Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005 and Windows XP Home? Dell appear to be offering both of these still.

Does anyone know what the difference is?

Thanks

    Yes I have heard of Google, but being old I am not very good with understanding technology and was rather hoping for a sort of idiots guide explanation.

    Haven't you heard of Help The Aged!!

    For all of the Smart Alecs here, no one has come up with that 'Idiots Guide' have they?

    So, Google will be your friend on this occasion.

    To save you the trouble, get XP. Happy now? :)

    XP Media Center just adds a pretty program onto XP Professional that combines a few programs together such as TV tuner (though you will need a TV card / stick for it to work or stream some content over broadband) and DVD / CD burning and DVD-Video creating.
    It's PAC not PAC Code, it's MAC not MAC Code, it's PIN not PIN Number, it's ATM not ATM Machine, it's LCD not LCD Display, it's DVD not DVD disc... It's no one not noone, It's a lot not alot, It's got not gotten... Panini is the plural of panino - there is no S!!
    (OK my English isn't great, the sciences, maths & IT are my strong points!)

    If you still insist on knowing, Wikipedia is a good source;

    My mother is a pensioner and she has some one the latest gadgets, so let's not play the old person card.
