I am a software developer. I am curious as to the difference between XP Pro
and XP Media center with regards to software development.
I've had XP Pro for the last 4 years and I am very satisfied. I was able to
do everysort of development on it incl j2ee, oracle, weblogic, open source
software and remoting to office.
Is there any limitation in Media Center that might be a consideration for me
to not buy Media Center Edition.

thanks:)

 The only two items not officially included with XP MCE that are in XP pro
are domain join, and cached credentials.

At this point, Kris, the Media Center Edition rides on top of Windows XP
Pro. Unless you have the two specific needs as Jason pointed out in his
post, you'll not notice the difference. MCE is a separate "application" if
you will, and unless you launch it you've got XP Pro at your disposal just
as you currently do. Even if you have MCE running, like in a sized window
to catch up on news, etc., you can still run your applications normally.
