"CODE 13! CODE 13! CODE 13!"
I tried everything I could think of and read a few places that it is the firewall, which of course I completely turned off(Windows Firewall in Vista). Finally I just checked the exception for Media Center Extender and turned Windows Firewall back on
PROS: love it when it cooperates
CONS: Spent a few hours troubleshooting the guide download

"How did Windows ever become the predominant Operating System?"
Became so, unrepairably, slow after a week or so (yes all of the Anitvirus/Spyware stuff fully installed and updated, system maintenance done, etc) of use that it is ponderous how Windows and its OEM and Third party software stay in business. All the
PROS: Apple's iTunes and Safari work better that any comparable Windows music player or web browsers
CONS: Virtually no effective tech support (i.e. no one knows how to make this system run effeciently without the fallback position of reinstalling it from scratch)

"Grat if they get the bugs out!!"
Like many other Microsaft products, they seem to put things on the market before they are debugged. Eventually it "may" be a great program. Another problem is that it does not always work well with other programs already installed in the computer.
PROS: Great idea!
CONS: Many driver problems causes media center to malfunction

"XP Media Center is not stable enough for real work"
I have been using Windows XP Media Center Edition with Live OneCare as a development environment with Visual Basic and my experience has not been good at all. Even though my music plays great and my MP3 player is as stable as it can be, I get BSOD's
PROS: The looks are good. Good interaction with media devices.
CONS: Too unstable for a production environment
