Just an interesting (I thought anyway ;-) note. I got my Dimension 8400
Media Center a couple of weeks ago which came with "Microsoft Windows XP
Media Center Edition 2005" on a DVD. Something of a new twist. It looks and
acts like any other XP Pro CD with a few new directories here and there for
the Media Center stuff.

A BTW for S.Lewis, I too received no "Drivers and Utilities" disc. I
e-mailed Support and they are shipping me one. In the mean time I went and
downloaded all the drivers for this computer and put them on a CD.
