I am looking to buy a Dell Notebook but there is no option to get XP home (which I can upgrade to Pro free via my Univ) only Media Center Edition(free and not upgradable to Pro) or XP Pro at an extra $89
I want to have this Notebook added to a Wireless network - does the lack of Admin functions (cannot add to a domain in the normal manner) and inferior security on MCE (based on XP Home, AFAIK old versions were based on Pro but the latest is not !) make a difference here ? - I have ZERO interest in convergence with my TV or other MM devices.
Secondly the interface on MCE looks a bit naff to me - can it be modified to look and behave like a normal XP interface ?
