I've never used it, but I advise going for the standard Home or Pro editions instead.

XP MCE is not a valid upgrade product to XP Home as it was released afterwards.  Are you wanting to upgrade to Media Center? I am unsure what you are trying to accomplish. Which product do you have?

Dell is still selling computers with XP Pro. Why not just get what you want from the start?
