Does XP MCE with SP3 integrated exist?

[FXGuy3369]

Is there a XP Media Center Disc with Service pack 3 integrated??? I dont want a hacked up garbage disc from torrents. Just OEM MCE with SP3. I keep having crazy issues with repair installs on MCE machines that have downloaded SP3.

I don't think there's such a thing.

I've given up on re-installing MCE on computers. It takes too much time to install, update, and find drivers. Nobody ever has disks and nobody made their restore disks.

I talk the owners into upgrading to Win7 Home Premium and that's worked out really well so far. The install is very fast, there's no need to search for most drivers, Media Center is included, and no need to buy a MPEG2 license.

Ahhh Windows MC be it XP, Vista or Win7 ... nothing but problems.

Win7 64 premium, WMC did take some time do all the codecs (using Shark007) and settings, but works without much issue for me so far.
