It's come to the point after four years that my family are giving the old computer to charity and buying a brand new machine. We're getting a fairly good deal, but there's one thing holding me back from giving it the all-clear, which is that it comes with a choice of OS's. Windows XP Media Center Edition '05 comes included in the price, or for £30 ($50) we can get Windows XP Professional SP2 instead. The budget for the machine has been stretched a bit so i'd rather not upgrade the OS unless there's a good reason. My question is; if I stick with the Media Center Edition will there be things I can't do that I would be able to with Professional? Will it still be able to network? Play games? Etc? Any advantages/disadvantages of one OS over the other?
Any help would be greatly appreciated as we're buying it by the end of the new week.
