Yeah, Windows Media Center Edition 2005 is pretty much like Windows XP with the Media Center and extra theme, but XP Pro does have the additional networking features that Media Center lacks.
Yeah, I'm thinking I wil have to get the full version but that's not a big deal. Someone told me that I might have some work to do with drivers if I do a clean install. That concerns me, beig a rookie at this (fromatting a computer and re-installing everything), having to find/re-install drivers not supplied on the CDs for the hardware on the E1505 after I format it
I would have just paid the upgrade fee from dell to get xp pro if that is what you needed. Then it would be installed and ready to go when you got the laptop, no fuss.
