How many digitians have the Microsoft Windows XP Live! CD? I have got the CD. Just you have to Boot up your PC with the CD and you are running the Windows XP Live!.

So, it is the Live! edition of Windows [i don't think so]? What is advantage of this live cd. it doen't impress me too much. having some tool but can we do the all the actions with it, like the XP pro?

It is to repair the windows in case of ne crash!

Its better than booting in DOS in case u can't enter in Windows!!!

U can format/parttion ur HDD, repair errors, copy paste files, and many other stuffs...

It will be unfair to call it live windows, i have used BartPE, Preinstall Environment.

whereas a linus live CD provides everything and works like an operating system, this is merely a GUI with few tools, and more resembles a boot CD.

i am not at all impressed by the windows PE

What exactly is the Windows XP Live CD? Is it from MS or somebody else?
Pl clarify.

I am sorry. I never knew you were talking about Media Centre Edition and that it is commonly known as MCE. In fact i thought it was somthing related to Windows XP.

ok... MCE don't not require a brand new pc. cuz i have installed it.... about the remote.... its a remote for the TV tuner card which is included into th PC.....

the branded PC comes with the Tuner Card.. thats why they have the remote [don't know about the mfg/TV Tuner] i don't have the TV Tuner card.. so .....

q3_abhi.. does your Remote comes with your CD pack?

Janitha those comps shown in the ads are normal low/mid-end PC's with added internal TV tuner card and WIndows MCE installed. They will lag far behind in performance if used for multimedia purposes for which MCE is specially made for.

No. Pl have a search in E-Bay! It has nothing to do with any computer, low end or mid end. they are in the SW section.

After reading the whole thread, I even can't rectify which link is every1 asking here to warrior?

Is it the link for MCE or for Windows Live!

I think providing both links in the forum will be ILLEGAL and against the Forum rules!

PS: Mods! Pls split the topic coz more than half posts r related to MCE and not with Windows Live CD.

What is the actual name of this Software?

"Windows XP Live" / "Windows Live" or what?

By the way, I do not want to know about "Media Centre Edition(MCE).
