I've probably written about this situation before but I will continue to write about it until I get the answers I desperately need I need to know technical stuff I saw a HP and that system had the DVD Video as an option on the format page, the person hooked up the computer and didn't buy anything special to get the option. Is there a way to determine if what I have is indeed MCE 2005 and not 2004? I need to know everything possible about this Windows Media Center Edition. Am I correct about this ... the decoder is needed to get the tv to work on my monitor and Microsoft doesn't send them out with the product? WMCE 2005 has the ability to burn data and video DVDs without buying a special program to do so? Where, and with whom can I speak with, to find out all I need to know about WMCE? Thank you for your time and any/all help
