    There's no way you can directly compare these 2. Dell Media Direct is used to view DVD, photos, and powerpoint presentations without booting up Windows. That's what's so great about it. Media Center is used to manage and record TV shows, and it can also be used to view photos and DVD. It's more for an entertainment laptop when being used at parties and such.

    Yes, They both are pointless UNLESS you use a remote or have your notebook setup as a Home theater system (hooked to a TV etc..)
