    I'm going to college soon and I ordered an e1505 w/ media center. Did I make a mistake? Do most colleges require xp pro? If so, can I upgrade to xp pro from mce?

    Some colleges, like the one I'm going to, require XP pro but give it for free at the beginning of the school year.

    and if you get XP pro you CAN add the opperating system

    note some colleges are already using Windows Vista beta2
