windows xp media center is a excellent os,i would certainly stay with mce for the next few years

mce is the only os i have not used,i know its just a improved version of windows xp,but the media center add on is a masterpeice,probally one of the best products microsoft have ever made

if you do have to upgarde in the future,avoid vista basic,as it dosent have media center built in and also dosent have the 3d aero desktop aswell.go for either vista premium or vista ultimate,both come with aero 3d and media center

good luck

i would stay with xp. vista looks very nice and has some nice touches but you seem to need double of every thing to do the same job IE a fast processor and much more memory. so if you upgrade it's going to cost a lot more. it's properly cheaper to buy a new computer with vista already installed.
I use vista home premium, I think it's the best OS yet, clean design, uses DX10, flip 3D, but that's only true on high end computers with recent components, you will end up with a ton of bugs with anything mid range or lower.
Do not get vista, It looks all nice and shiney but it is still a prototype and hardly supports anything, like programs, games, apps, etc...
