[QUOTE="NickName, post: 77692, member: 21675"] Funnily enough, they are actually the same thing. Turn on the desktop version to have it displayed on your desktop wallpaper for proof. Save the following 3 lines as a .reg file (sans quotes) and double click the saved .reg file to load it. Next boot will show on your desktop what you are running. :-) "Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop] "PaintDesktopVersion"=dword:00000001" Note: I suppose technically there is a difference in that one comes with Media Center 2005 but other then that all the supplied apps are the same AFAIK. It's kinda cool that it's cheaper to buy MCE 2005 at the PC markets then XP Pro. Cheap XP pro anyone? Hehehe. It confused me when I installed MCE 2005 and it asked me for the XP Pro CD... Regards, Nick Name. [/QUOTE]
