Kick off your shoes, settle back on the sofa with the remote control, and turn on your PC. Yes, your PC. Loaded with Microsoft's Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005 operating system, members of a new class of PC-based leisure machines promise to serve as your PC and home entertainment center rolled into one. A Media Center system lets you listen to radio, play CDs, watch DVD movies (or movies you've downloaded from the Internet), and view and record live TV. And you can get some work done, too, with a wireless mouse and keyboard.
