4.0 out of 5 stars I like it!, April 26, 2007

By	Stephanie Mooney "reednowensmommy" (River Rouge, Mi United States) - See all my reviews

I heard mixed reviews about Media Center before we purchased it, but decided to give it a try. So far, I've been very pleased with it. There are a few areas that I would change if I could, but that just has to do with how I like to do things. Everything in MCE works well, and I've encountered no problems. It would be nice if you had a little more access to Media Player functions (i.e.- updating track information and album covers from the internet) from within the Media Center, but it's not THAT hard to launch Media Player, now is it? ;]

All in all, I've been pleased with my purchase, and hope to continue using it for quite some time. (since I have no plans to ever upgrade to Vista if I can help it)

5.0 out of 5 stars MCE 2005 is where it's at., October 27, 2007

By	Mitch S. (Bartlett, TN) - See all my reviews

I have been using this for almost a year now. I run an Asus A8N-SLI, 1GB, AMD 4000+. I use it to store and use all media. Pictures, videos, ripped DVDs, etc. I watch and record Live TV every day and also own 2 v1 Linksys extenders that are used often. One wireless and one wired. This OS is stable and very functional. I use nVidia's pure platinum codec and that is all you need. OTA HDTV functionality works and looks great. I have 3 analog tuners distributed to the extenders also. I couldn't be happier with the entire setup and will not move to Vista until forced in a few years.

p.s., of course it comes with 2 discs! Who are these people?...
