I am trying to download the Microsoft Updates and then burn them to a CD
like is described on this page http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=323166.
When I get to this page
http://v4.windowsupdate.microsoft.co...en/default.asp I am asked what
OS I have. I have Windows XP Media Center Edition SP2, but it isn't one of
the options. What do I chose instead?

XP, XP Pro if there is a further option.

Thank you Galen. Does Windows Media Center Edition 2005 SP2 have all of the
programming Windows XP Pro has? With the exception if the media part of Media
Center Ed, are the two the same ?

I don't think it's meant to join a domain so networking will be different.
The management console might have different functions. It may well not have
group policy editor installed either.
