There is no MCE version of Vista. The final isn't even out yet!

:sigh:
I think Windows Vista Bet includes a Media Center...

Not as far as I know. And yes, I've used many different BETAs of it.

Plus, this is MS we're talking about. If they can make more money by forcing you to buy a more expensive, non-standard version, they will.

I have a strong feeling that it will work just fine. MS will most likely release a dashboard update or something for the 360.

I'm running the latest vista release (5308) and the media center is able to see the 360, but is unable to "configure the device settings" There will be dashboard updates in the future to allow Vista's Media Center to run on the 360, but not right now.

does anyone know what are requirements for vista build 5308 and media center 2005?

if your PC can run XP it can run MCE 2005, the same for Vista but it may not run it in all its gloary.

I wound be nice if Windows Vista MCE will run on X-BOX 360, but for now you can ran amps like MAME over an network form your PC to X-BOX 360 without doing any hacking (super).
