Windows XP Media center edition (code name “Symphonie”)

At the Media center edition of XP acts it around a Windows for living rooms as
Multimedia center for special PCs with television connection serves. The Media center edition is
first only in the USA available, and one drives out not individually, but may only of that
Manufacturers to be up-played.

The HP media center PC 873n is one of the few PCs with XP Media center edition

Thus one knows after the plan of Microsoft after the purchase and setting up the PC, directly
the advantages of a PC, a video recorder, a DVD Players, a CD plant and a burner in equipment use.
First on a strict copy protection, that would have set it would have only permitted taken up
Television programs only on the one PC to show, then he was however probably given up.
The first PC comes from HP and even possesses a remote maintenance, in addition, one
Price of 1500 $ -2000 $.

Since there is to be a German version also among other things shortly, I looked at myself the English times.

The first statement is that the Media center edition a completely normal XP Professional version is, those
only one program more possesses: the Media center. This becomes either from the starting menu or an appropriate
Remote maintenance with Windows key started.

The only not optical difference to the normal XP: The Media center

Before one can use it however, it must supply the functions however only with the necessary data, and/or
adjust. Thereby even an Internet connection is needed for the electronic program magazine.
All steps can be jumped over thereby also, it become by the way apparently no television maps supported, but
only video in interfaces.

Only work, then the pleasure: The attitudes of the Media center, so that everything runs

The Media center consists of five columns:

• Televisionlook

• Music hearing (via Media library of the Media Players)

• Pictures administer/look at

• Video files look at

• DVD look at

One can only always do thus one at the same time.

The main selection of the Mediacenter

The pictures to function e.g. indicates contents of “My Pictures”, one can it also in a kind presentation
(Slideshow) to indicate leave themselves ideal, for one photo evening.

The pictures range

As said the Music function takes over the Playlisten of the Media Player, so that one only also
it at the PC (thus without remote maintenance) his things to together-look for each other must. Also must
one the Media center starts again around the most current lists to use to be able.

The Media center avails itself with the Music simply with the Media Player

If that is created, one can use the usual functions of an audio Players, it is also possible
by remote maintenance determined songs by title input look for.

The title selection takes place by mouse or remote maintenance

Once to be found played, as I mean somewhat boringly, there offer the Mediaplayer
with its “Ambiencen” (Farbspielereien) somewhat more for the eye.

The files are then simply shown somewhat

Windows XP Media center edition 2004 Windows XP Media center edition gives it also as new edition, this is the innovations: Frame “Visualizations” of My Music a radio support with deferred hearing etc. 16:9 screens are now more optimally used Telephone messages, on which screen appears a reference, the telephone rings to whom Located versions for: Japan, Germany, Great Britain and France Videotex is supported in the European versions Over most manufacturers of the Media of center one can receive PC a Upgrade on the version 2004, in this country is introduced simply only the version 2004. Windows XP Media center edition 2005 The new version offers an improved user surface, and brings the current Windows Media Player 10 and the Windows Movie Maker 2.5. Otherwise are this are the more important innovations: Newer more compact surface Support of more than one TV-Tuner, thus is to be taken up it possible a program, during one another looks at. the highly soluble HDTV is supported inserted functions for burning CDs and DVDs Support of slack transmission of Mediadaten, for example to the rendition of television data into another area On-line services offer directly in on-line gallery of the Media of center motion picture films, messages and plays.

Windows XP MCE 2005 has its being suitable Design

The new surface is simply more compact and “more stylischer”

For the rendition lists one can let simply whole files scan

Enormous difference during the audio rendition (see first MCE)

The revised surface of XP MCE 2005

The radio function of the MP MCE 2005

Result:

The MCE von Windows XP is a nice plaything, is however without the remote maintenance somewhat too pedantic,
and/or redundantly. There one gets away better with other programs with. With remote maintenance that can
differently look, here comes on the monitor (size/viewing angle) and the location of the PC drauf
on. On the other hand there are Multimediaanwendungen with remote maintenance support also from other companies.
Purchase-tap always is it, since it partial than XP Home is more favorable, but all functions of XP pro controls.

That will be also the reason of success. The first versions were available in October 2002,
until April 2006 became 10 million time sold, in October 2006 already 20 million time.

Windows XP starter edition

The “starters edition” of Windows XP, is a abgespeckte version of Windows XP Home for those
Countries India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Russia and Thailand. They probably become thereby as favorable operating system
(~ 40 $) together with favorable computers drove out (oem), around the computer spreading in these countries
to advance. But XP was adapted to that particularly to the languages countries, it is only in Thai, Malay
and Indonesian available, also there are Gimmicks like own barrier PAPERs and Bildschirmschoner. But forwards
everything Windows stop was abgespeckt:

• Restriction on 3 programs, which were started by the user, and 3 of the system started
  Programs at the same time

• Screen resolution firmly determined at 800x600

• No network between computers possible, and/or network printers etc.

• No multi-user support

In the meantime the starters edition was sold in the first 2 years about one million time and it gives
25 languages. The next Vista version should be available in nearly 80 languages.

The first time gives it not only a minimum condition, but also an intentional maximum requirement

Windows XP edition N & KN

Windows XP N: This Windows XP version resulted from the European Union commission in the July 2005, which
by Microsoft a version demanded to bring out, which robs around its Multimediafähigkeiten, which
Manufacturers of other software would not disadvantage.

The edition N cannot even play for this reason an audio CD, is thus even opposite of
Windows 3,1 in the disadvantage. Since this version is just as expensive as the normal, also hardly become
are sold. The largest oem manufacturers already decided against this version, there the customer
a complete operating system wishes.

Windows XP KN: Similarly as the XP N version resulted this version from a judgement in February 2006
in Korea. This only in Korea available version is missing like the N version the Mediafähigkeit and over it
outside also the measuringclose.

Windows Fundamentals for Legacy PC (code name: Eiger)

With end of the support for the Windows 9x/ME row Microsoft for firm customers has a special version
for older PC systems on. It does not offer the full function range of Windows XP, and it transforms
the computer practically to a kind Thin Client, a server transfers thus the majority of the work, thus also
starting programs.

Update for XP:

The service luggage 1 corrects 400 well-known errors of Windows XP, under it 60 Hertz the nose
with plays and permits now own programs as applications of kinds of condition to use,
in addition the program became in the software menu of the system control and in the starting menu
“Program access and - kind specify” imported.

New switching surface in the software menu: “Program access and - standards specify”

The service luggage 2 is corrected the probably most extensive update for an operating system of all times, it
once again 810 errors! (List of Microsoft (English)) The network version of the Patches is with 270 MT
nearly just as largely, how the entire installation file of Windows 2000! Beside numerous nose-fixed,
in particular safety updates, were emphasized, improved also some safety features and
added. Thus to be simply ignored there are not already these attitude possibilities with
first boat a selection menu for activating.

The first start after the installation

Central one of security is the new safety center. It informs automatic update about Firewall,
and virus protection. The virus protection is thereby the only feature, which does not settle from Windows
will can. One must buy from any manufacturer it.

The safety center, switching center against viruses and Trojaner

The Windows Firewall is now activated after the installation of SP2 according to standard. It became also
clearly extended, it can be supplemented or replaced however by a Fremdherstellerfirewall.

The Firewall protects also during the boat procedure, if one places her very sharply

The Internetexplorer and Outlook Express have most updates received, besides also new
Functions like the plant manager and…

Internet Explorer: Warnings become clearer

… an inconspicuous “Killeraplikation”: A Popupblocker. This becomes the advertising industry in the Internet
umwirbeln, it will probably lead also to still nerviger advertisement.

The Popupblocker

The service luggage 2 is worth an in any case installation. It gives beyond that for Windows XP
Media center edition 2004 and the Windows XP Tablet PC edition 2005 additional functions, it become
in addition, new hardware generations supports: Bluetooth 2,0, Firewire 2 and an anti-virus function that
new AMD 64 processors. By the way the boat screen neutralized, there gives it no distinction
more between Professional and Home.

The new boat screen of XP with installed SP2: No more difference between Home and Professional

Result:

Windows XP is the youngest branch and thus the achievement king, it is opposite Windows 2000,
properly optimized (1/3 of the starting time) and is compatible even to DOS plays. The new surface
if matter of taste may be, can be stopped however. The price and the copy protection are less beautiful
mechanism of the activation, here is punished the honest customer.

For all that XP was established as standard Windows and is available in a multiplicity of versions,
so that one has a certain selection within the Windows family.
