Confused about Windows xp MCE 2005

[Sparrow_69]

Does mce have all the standard functionality of xp? Is mce an app contained within xp, or is that blue screen with the option to go to: my videos, my pictures,my tv, etc all that you get?

tks

Microsoft's website has some very good explanations of the differences. It's basically XP Pro, with some functionality stripped out, such as the ability to join a domain. The MCE 10-foot interface is run from starting an application from your normal windows desktop. You can set it to run at boot, or leave it off by default.
