What is the media center edition?
Is it based on XP Home or Pro?
Does Live works well with it?

I believe that Media Center Edition is based on Window XP Pro.

it's based on xp pro and runs fine with live for me. comes in pretty handy as a digital video recorder too....

theres a lot of stuff in there you could cut out though if you want to get more cpu out of it, but i haven't done that yet, and i've had my machine for about a year. i'm at the point now that i use reaktor5 a lot more that i kill a lot of extraneous processes before a show just in case, but i've never had any crashes during a show, and very very few dropouts. soon i'm going to dual boot (i think) just to make my life a little easier with the process killing.

Best,

nope, tablet edition from what i've seen is a different beast to media centre. i'm using a freakin huge 15.4" toshiba qosmio with all its bells and whistles...

i'd be curious to hear about tablet edition though - anyone using it?
