Microsoft expands Media Center availability

PC World | at | by Mike

Microsoft is again expanding the market for Windows XP Media Center Edition. The premium version of Windows XP will be available in 20 additional countries by year's end.

The expansion means that PCs running Windows XP Media Center Edition will be available in more than 30 countries and in 17 languages by the end of 2005. However, that does not equal worldwide availability. For comparison, Windows XP Home and Pro editions are available in 49 regionalized versions in virtually every country, according to Microsoft.
