In addition to meeting the minimum system requirements of Windows XP Professional, each new Media Center PC may include the following components to enhance your entertainment experience:
Notice it states "enhance" not requires.

I tried to get a copy from microsoft as oem account ( I work for one) but we were told that it has been release to only 5 selected partner because it is not ready for mass distribution. That way they know what hardware it goes on and the issues that develops.
I tried to find 5in1 but failed. If any one has a link, I am dying to try it.
thanks
