Jono Posted August 2, 2004 Share Posted August 2, 2004 media centre and tablet edition are based on xp pro so expect the same files, if you dont know what your playing with should you really be playing with it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They only contain the word "Windows" inside. i.e. in WinXP toy'll see "win51ip" and WinXP SP2 it's "win51ip.sp2" and so on.

Zxian Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 Windows XP Media Center Edition is a version of Windows XP that is designed for media organization and viewing in mind. The thought was that you would use XP-MCE to run a home theatre system. Windows XP Tablet PC Edition includes the neceesary files to make use of the touch-screen capabilities of tablets. This includes things such as text recognition software, Windows Journal, and some other features. How did you "acquire" these versions of Windows?
