I did in fact look there, Mr. Beags, but as with most of the results of my Google search, it just turned up a bunch of marketing pap like the "top 10 reasons" any flavour of Windows XP is perfect for me, without any straightaway comparisons of what one lacks and another doesn't.

For what it's worth, I went ahead and took the plunge, purchasing a XP Media Center Edition PC yesterday (I figured I could always install XP Pro over it, if it turned out to be dire.) I have yet to see any real difference from XP Pro other than the addition of some controls to accommodate an on-board TV/FM/CATV tuner and remote control, which I may or may not ever set up. So, so far, so good...
