Windows XP Media Center Edition

It was better to call it Freestyle, but Windows XP Media Center Edition is sort of interesting. A couple of months ago I took one of our spare PCs, slapped Windows Me on it, and hooked it up to our Ethernet, big television, and the stereo. The idea was to use it to play streaming audio and video, but we don't use it much for all the reasons you'd expect: it's hard to control the PC, boot time is slow, and we have to do some cable juggling.

I'm am disappointed that freestyle will not be released as part of SP1, I was looking forward to that. It was actuall one of the reasons I bought Windows XP.
