Why not just sell your MCE disc and install XP Home on it?

Assuming you never need to use it as a Remote Desktop server.

Assuming you have an MCE disc.

I am thinking you are also assuming the original poster has Windows XP Home Edition installation source and key.

Nope, I am assuming he SELLS his XP MCE and buys XP Home Edition,

making a small profit in the process, since firstly, you cannot even buy

MCE in shops and secondly, it is more valuable than XP Home because

of the very features it has that he does not need or want.

How do you know Idontwantspam does not neer or want features in MCE?

Wholly #$%*! The whole thing is that it would be GOOD to have XP Pro without having to pay a gazzlillion extra dollars. I don't WANT Xp home edition. It doesn't really matter, I was just curious. Media Center works fine. It has the components I want, and I don't need to connect to a domain, so I'll just stay like this. I was just curious is all. Besides, it's a Dell OEM reinstall disk, so reselling it would be a big no-no. It says very clearly, both on the disk and in the EULA that the CD is for distribution with a new dell computer only, and is not for resale.

you can locate a file called setupp.ini and validate the code. Once you validate the code you can install MCE off a DVD/CD with a unattended script so it looks like XP Pro system . The script will not locate disk 2 (refers to MCE components) B)
