Release for vista will be +/- Feb '07

It will feature MCE functions in a few editions... there are *SEVEN* editions though, so when the time comes, choose well.

Official software(windows media center) 70-80 pounds

Remote Control Average 30 pounds

TV Card 40 Pounds

Total Spent: 150 pounds

And for a couple of grand that better be a heck of a computer with sli7800's an dual core Id never pay that amount (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

vista windows media center edition

is not called vista it is just called windows media center edition 2006

once this comes out all 2005 plugins should work in this version

but you must have a 3 ghz processor and 1 gigs worth of memory just to run vista so windows media center edition may be the same way
