Pros Easy to use, installs like any other Windows, highly featured
Cons Few features missing, Windows-based are inherently unstable at times

One good Media recorder

Pros Can record TV, good interface
Cons Records to DVD in DVR-MS format, not DVD VOB, total system price is high
Recommended it? Yes

Why did I choose this?
I got a DVD recorder when my Sony SLV-81 VCR stopped working, but the DVD recorder had only 4 recording slots. So the DVD recorder went back to Radio Shack, and I got Microsoft(R) Windows(R) XP Media Center Edition 2005 and an EVGA nViDiA NVTV from Newegg.com.

Pros Stable, Pretty, Fun, Powerful, The New Standard.
Cons I don't love Windows Media Center, which come with it.
Recommended it? Yes

How important is your operating system to your PC? I'm no computer scientist or guru, but I know that the operating system forms the foundation or environment in which other programs operate or run. Over the years, since I was a college student during the 1980s, operating systems have evolved from... Read full review »

If you use a computer at all, you have probably experienced more than one operating system. According to age, you may have experienced several operating systems. I know I have. I remember the days of MS-DOS even though I do not remember much more than the msconfig command. I remember various... Read full review »
