[QUOTE="and-81, post: 174886, member: 11844"] MediaPortal will not benefit from having Windows XP MCE under it. The only difference I know of that might have any effect at all is if you use an MCE IR Remote Control in XP Home you will need to download some drivers for it. Windows XP MCE does load some additional services at boot time that you would want to disable if you were using it exclusively with MediaPortal. I would say that the "Best Fit" of an operating system for MediaPortal is Windows XP Pro SP2, because it doesn't have any MCE services that need to be disabled, but it does have the MCE IR Remote Control driver... But all in all, there is very little difference between the various flavours of Windows XP, and nothing that can't be overcome. Hope that helps, [/QUOTE]
