Software Reviews of Microsoft Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005 SP2B for System Builders

Customer Review: Great Job!
Summary: 5 Stars

Great packaging and quick delivery! Thank you very much! I definitely recommend this seller.

Customer Review: Pretty worthwhile....!
Summary: 4 Stars

This the best, final version of MCE 2005. It comes with 2 XP MCE CDs, along with a 3rd disc with the Rollup 2 service pak for MCE.

TIP: After XP install, do not install the Rollup CD until after you have opened Media center and configured all the settings. The Rollup assumes Media Center is configured so if you install it early on it can cause errors. Don't install Xp SP3 until after the Rollup 2 is installed.

I don't know how this compares to Vista, but this final XP version with Rollup provides is pretty slick. The only flaws I have found are that when playing Dolby Digital movies, MCE doesn't seem to simultaneously downmix analog audio output (meaning I have to have my receiver on all the time).

Customer Review: CONSTANT HARD DRIVE ACCES WHILE WATCHING TV
Summary: 3 Stars

Ok I hope someone can tell me WHY Win XP Media Centre CONTINUOSULY accesses the C Drive while I JUST watch TV with NO recording going on!
It's getting annoying to see the hard drice access light continuosuly flashing while I'm JUST watching TV with Media Centre. Is there ANY reason why Media Centre must access the hard drive if I am NOT recording.
VERY FRUSTRATING! If you have an answer or explanation PLEASE contacxt me:

The seller did a great job resolving an issue I had with the software. The software was sent in a timely manner and it arrived undamaged. My problem was that my home system was incompatible with the OS. Lucky I found out prior to opening any of the software. I contacted Tiger Direct and they did a wonderful job refunding the money and returing the disc. I would be glad to work with this company again.
