At the time of this writing, Microsoft has announced that Media Center will not be part of any versions of Windows 8 by default. Instead, Media Center will be available as an upgrade to Windows 8 Pro at an additional cost. At publication time, the fee for Media Center has not been announced publicly.
This chapter shows you how to install, set up, and use Media Center. Some specifics, however, may have changed in the Windows 8 production software. We do not anticipate large-scale changes to Media Center, but there may be changes to the way in which Media Center is distributed.
