Mod-Blue Theme for StyleXP

I really really like the Royale I will be sure to add it when i get home.. Thanks a lot for the link

hey thx for the little skin, rlly is nice

but back to the thread subject.. why is it you connot buy that windows? neither on the net or in stores..? if you wanna buy stm it says you gotta buy a media centre pc..

Windows XP: Media Center Edition is basically Windows XP Pro with a new theme, the addition of "Microsoft Plus!" and the fairly useless Media Center. I have it especially for the theme.

The Media Center is useless because most TV cards have their own software which is better than Media Center because MCE only lets you watch stuff you've recorded on the PC you recorded it on


Btw, this is the new theme:

Well MS says "Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005 is a new Windows XP operating system available only on Media Center personal computers. Because of its special hardware feature requirements" Well why don't they just sell it and put the details as Requirements on the box

They do sell it.

You can run it on any computer, the "special requirements" are only if you want to watch TV on it:

Microsoft Windows: Media Center Edition 2005

Yes. Like I said, they come with their own software, but if you're building a new PC then the funny thing is - MCE is actually cheaper than the other Windows versions.
