language, please find someone to help you translate so we could understand
what point you are trying to make.
Media Center XP is a separate OS, not a program that runs on another OS, it
can not be purchased and "added" to a PC's OS. The features of Media Center
are now incorporated into several versions of Vista. Although Media Center
and Web/MSN-TV have a few features in common, they are very different
products. Here's the Wiki on MSN-TV
