maybe there is another one, but ive never actualy tried, -

have you ever seen the boot.ini settings??? to (for example load a diferent (patched kernel), or diferent driversets ar posible to (i believe),

i think it would be posible as well to trick windows to load a diferent shell from a boot-ini command (even though im not completely shure how,

Pro: it takes less space on your hard-disk. because you will need only 1 os-instance ...

Con: on both running-options, it will leave you to load quite a few services you dont need at that point,
( example; you will be loading print-services on running MC, or advanced media services on running office).

the other way (a lot simpler, and even more powerfull - in terms of MP-performance) would be to create an ultra-lite xp install, as a mutli-boot option on your PC,

Pro:
more Media Center power,
less bloated install for your office OS,

Con:
It takes more harddrive space, (maybe even as mutch as 1GB).
