I also saw these ads from Best Buy. The one from HP looks pretty hyped to me.

The new computers are made by HP and run the new Windows XP Media Center Edition, a derivation of Microsoft's flagship operating system. The Windows XP hybrid sports a second interface for accessing digital media features, including a digital video recorder (DVR) for recording TV shows to the computer's hard drive.

But based on pricing and features, analysts questioned whether the Media Center PC would take off--at least initially. HP declined to comment on pricing published over the weekend, but later on Monday the company released pricing and configuration information on its Web site.


I personally wouldn't get Windows for an entertainment center. Look at what everyone else is running, Variants of Linux.
