Hi all,
I just got a machine that has Windows XP Media Center; I don't know how it differs from XP Home or Professional. I'm going to get the newest Trados. Will it work with Media Center, or do I need another OS? Thank you.

As far as I know, Media Centre PCs are intended to be used with your television set, and are designed as an all-in-one replacement for your stereo, VCR, DVD, projector etc etc etc.
Although they are basically just small PCs, I would question what you want to do with this thing. TRADOS has never struck me as being that demanding, so it may well run quite happily on your Media Centre PC.

I've got Trados 7 and Word 2003 and they are working perfectly fine. So, I guess you won't have any problems at all.
You won't need a new OS since this one hardly differs from what you are used to.

The Media Center Edition is based on XP Pro. It just has the additional Media Center funtionality. Apart from that, you won't notice any difference from regular XP Pro.
