It’s just XP with a different front end on it for playing and watching your media files, music, movies, photos etc. You can skip the Media Edition bit and just go into XP as normal if you wish.

all in all the improvement are very slight and it has been brought out just after apple released front row with there newest machines

you can read more about this on apples website as well as read about the new ipods :smiley:

that is if you rate apples computers i personaly prefer them but they take a little while to get use to

Ive never used an Apple and dont think i would basically because i like gaming and the compatibility is an issue AFAIK.
