i think what your refuring to is Windows XP: Media Center Edition
this is just a variation of windows XP, like Home Edition or Professional Edition, and you can buy it if not in stores, then from the microsoft Web Site

i don't know, personaly i haven't seen the commersials for it, but my parents just bought a PC with it
apperently, it helps you connect things like digital camaras, and TVs and other media equipment to your PC, but don't take my word on it, i just skimed through the book a bit, theres more information here http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/mediacenter/default.mspx

Each version has its strengths. Home is mainly for the average consumer, Pro is mainly for businesses, and Media Center is for people who have a lot of music, videos, etc. and want to play it on their TV or home stereo equipment.

That's the new 'Royale' theme that's on by default
