*laugh* I wouldn't refer to it as "multimedia crap"  I've used more boxes
with MCE then anything else, at good margins; it's a unique setup when
configured with the right HDTV display, tuner cards.. and more and more
functions keep improving it.. SIRIUS and XM are available on MediaCenter,
along with several other new functions.. my MCE box in my living room
controls darn near everything; it can tell me when my AC kicks on and off ;)
or Caller ID with pictures of the person who's calling :)

XP MCE *is* Pro with the TV tuner and multimedia crap added on. I think 
it can only be sold bundled with tuner hardware, so that likely makes up 
the difference in price.
