some screens:

it pretty much catalogs your mp3 directory by artist / album and retrieves album covers from the interweb ...

it supports tv / radio tuners ( i dont have but would be nice ) ... it will also catalog your video / dvd etc collection to be accesible thru the above interface.... pretty damn leet.

Nothing really.

Media center is an OS...it basically has fancy graphics.

the media center pc has a remote with it.
