Are there any significant differences?
I would like to try XP MCE (have to assume it runs better than Vista...) but I'm a little worried about finding SATA drivers and I'm not sure if XP's version of Media Centre would now be lacking since I'm used to Vista's version.
Have to assume that XP MCE would perform better, seeing that Vista is generally a bloated mess and resource-hog. I'd love to go back to a more reliable and simpler operating system.
Any thoughts?
