Does anyone know if there is a way I can download Windows Media Center without upgradsing to Vista? My computer can't run Vista at the moment, so I need to find a way to get WMC without it.

Windows XP Media Center Edition or Windows Media Player?
Because Windows XP Media Center Edition is only available pre-installed on new PCs. As far as I'm aware, you cannot purchase it seperately.
Edit Well, I lied: Here's a link where you can purchase it. Windows XP Media Center Edition Posted by Little_Doctor (Member # 6635) on :
Well, I don't want to have to get a whole new OS. I just want to get Media Center for my current XP system. Is that possible?

Windows XP Media Center is a whole new operating system. If this isn't what you're referring to, perhaps you could elaborate on what exactly you want. It's not just a cool patch, service pack, or utility you can download.
For a good idea of what it is, check this review out.

Maybe I'm wrong. On my brother's computer, he has a program called Media Center that he can open up. I assumed he just had XP. So he has a completely different OS than me?

You'll really have to ask your brother then. There's probably a dozen 3rd party media center applications out there, perhaps he has one of those that works with Windows XP (a non-Media Center Edition version of XP anyway). Posted by ricree101 (Member # 7749) on :
Also, there is more than one version of XP. The Media Center edition is XP, but there is also home and professional. Each of them are different operating systems.
