Installing The Operating System

I have chosen to go with Windows Vista for installing the operating system. However, there are multiple other operating systems that you could go with including: Windows XP Media Center Edition, Sofa, LinuxMCE and Mythdora to name a few.

Install Windows Vista (Home Premium or Ultimate edition is required)

Note that the Windows XP Media Center Edition install will be very similar to the regular Windows XP install.
