Well, it's the only software the have right now except Pro... which costs $60-$149 more. Other than the length of support issue, most users don't need the extras in Pro, so why should they pay for it?
A bit strange.... 1. The cost of MCE is ony about $10 more than Home, yet the cost of Pro can be $150 more than home... ?? 2. In some places an OS choice is sometimes listed as "XP Pro + media", but it's not called MCE... ?? Elephino
