Strengths: This is a complete operating system. I loaded it up and it works fine. Media Center looks beautiful.
Weakness: Installation is confusing and does not come instructions. Windows Media Player does not have decoder so you cannot watch moves out of the box. Same thing goes with Wind Prof though.
Looks better than XP pro, and cost less. I don't use the domain feature mentioned below so it doesn't bother me one bit. Installation is confusing and does not come with instructions. Thanks to other user reviews I got it right the first time. Install disk 1, then disk 2, then disk 1 again (Disk 1 has SP2). No need for the updates disk because Windows Automatic Updates will take care of that.
