If you have XP SP2 and want the Media center feature but don't want to
upgrade to the dreaded and horrible vista

you can install MEDIA PORTAL 2 (totally FREE)

see here for details..

Why do you think anyone on a Vista newsgroup would want to avoid Vista? You
and thousands of other users may not want it, but the people on this
newsgroup are here because they do.
Whatever the opposite of Preaching to the Choir is, that's what you're
doing.

Media center in Vista is terrific...had guests over last night and had my

Not one hitch or problem...

Sorry. I didn't realize he had cross-posted.
I read it in microsoft.public.windows.vista.general.
Never mind.

You will have to excuse him, he is the resident vista group troll, in his
own
battle to give ill advice on vista, and to generally PUSH his opinion on
everyone else, he is hated by all, and changes his handle weekly to ensure
he can push his poision even when he has been blocked.

Now he thinks he's clever cross posting to get more attention in his sad
miserable life.

Have you noticed, that those who bash the latest version of Windows are
often the same ones who were bashing the last version, which they now are
defending against the new.

It is normal for every new version to cause some problems and solve
others. Some people will see many new problems, but seeing the new
advantages usually takes time. More often than not the new opportunities
eliminates most of the problems seen when trying to fit old procedures into
the new system.

Note the crossposts.

Anyway, that's nothing but spam and should be treated
as such. I did so.
