Hi,

Media Centre doesn't really require any learning. All you need to do is use 
the files and settings transfer wizard on both computers and your Media 
Centre will look just like 98 SE if that's how your current XP Home looks. 
Mine is Media Centre for the reasons you state, lack of availability of XP 
Home and that is what provoked me to switch to WE, along with the keyboard 
probs in Jaws.

WE version 6 has much better help than previous versions, including an 
insert 1 key describer function.

Cheers
Dave
