PCs running Windows XP Media Center Edition are finally expected to reach the UK this year, reports VNUnet. Companies planning to introduce them "include Elonex, Evesham Technology, Hi-Grade Computers, Hewlett Packard, Packard Bell, PC World and Time Group."
As Wininfo points out, there's already a free alternative at http://myhtpc.net/. "Although myHTPC is targeted at Home Theater Personal Computer users, it can serve many purposes. For example, it can be used to build a simple menu for children to access their programs. It can also work very well with kiosk and touch-screen applications," says the site.
