RE: OS? Home, Media or Pro? (was Re: Mobius on an Intel Mac (and more questions))

I agree with the previous posters that you don't need Pro for
a single user laptop that won't be on a corporate network.

Media Center basically adds software that can overlay the normal user
interface with a simpler one designed for navigaion and selection of
audio files, video files, and DVD playing from a distance using a
remote control.  It also has rudimentary DVR capabilities (recording
shows off cable).  It is similar to "Front Row" on the Mac.

It's kind of cool, but unless you want the PC in your living room as
an "entertainment hub" you may not find it that useful.  This site has
an overview:
