Windows Media Center is WindowsXP, with a few flags and whistles. Read here:

Media Center is a subset or XP Pro.

 

It is IMPOSSIBLE for XP Home to become Media Center.

Re: Transformation

 

It is concievable that such a thing can be done by malware. Back up your

files and settings and rebuild. I don't see how you can trust such a system

in its present state.

Typo perhaps, but it's a *super*set. It has everything in Professional
