I am REALLY beginning to hate top-posting... :)

Anyhow, I just wanted to repeat this. The MS code-name for the first 
release of Windows XP Media Center Edition is "Freestyle". MCE == 
Freestyle, and WinTV PVR-250MCE == WinTV Freestyle == WinTV OEM (more 
or less). For the record, XP MCE 2004 is code-named "Harmony", but I 
have yet to see a card incorporating that moniker...

I hear the MCE 2004 release sucks much less than the first. Not that 
I'd ever use it.
