Monday morning, Microsoft announced the completion of Windows XP Media Center Edition, which will power new media center PCs from companies such as Hewlett-Packard and Samsung beginning next month. XP Media Center is the latest Windows version, and one of several products which rely on XP Service Pack 1 (SP1), which was finalized last week. XP Media Center adds a friendly interface on top of XP SP1 that allows consumers to access multimedia experiences--such as digital music, photos and videos, DVD movies, TV, and digital video recording--using a remote control and, optionally, a TV set.
