Top posting, unusually.

I didn't see an operating system included. I would think it wise to get
XP Pro, since this is a MS game that will be used.

Look at the second item in Judah's list (the list you quoted when you top
posted).

Shoot! I read that twice, looking for that. I guess I did not know there was a
media center edition.

The Media Center Edition is fine (and may even be desirable). Though,
personally I think anyone buying a Windows operating system today should make
sure that part of the deal is a voucher for a free upgrade to Vista. I can't
say whether Vista will or will not be a major improvement, but one thing is
for su it is the new standard for Windows PCs, and it would be silly today
to spend the $100 (or whatever) on a copy of XP, when it's already basically
obsolete.

I thought that Vista was going to be a yearly fee license. I would stick with
XP, I think! That sucks, IMHO
