I just purchased a new computer that has a Pentium 4 650. It came with
Windows Media Center 2005 installed. I enjoy all the features Media Center
has to offer, however I am interested in Windows 64bit Edition. Is there any
way I can have both OSs installed at the smae time, or is there any plans for
a Media Center x64? I am open for suggestions.

Currently there are no plans for a MCE x64 edition.

What about a Windows XP Tablet PC x64 Edition?

nothing yet. But then there aren't any Tablet PC available yet that are x64
capable. I'm guessing we're still a ways out from that, though I wouldn't be
surprised to hear someone was doing it, just haven't so far. I'm hoping,
really, since I'm a Tablet PC MVP as well, and love my Tablets. But want x64
on a tablet.

I have heard rumours of some folks enabling many of the MCE features on an
x64 box. But I suspect this is something you'll find out more about in MCE
specific communities and newsgroups. (OTOH, it sure makes sense for an MCE
edition of x64 -- the hardware should rock on nice big digital media files
and features.)

It *is* possible to get the MCE application to install under x64, with a
little hard work ;).

In a screenshot that I took for an article on Extended64.com, I have the MCE
app in the recent programs area of my start menu:
http://www.extended64.com/photos/article_screenshots/picture131.aspx.

Of course, it will be running as a 32-bit process under the .NET 1.1
Framework, but it's better then nothing. If you want to use the MCE App for
TV, an x64 supported TV Tuner (which also works under MCE) is required; and
that could be a problem right now.

I read on Paul Thurrotts WinInfo Shorts, the version of Media Center after
(Emerald) is suppose to be 64 bit. (Speculation).

Are you sure about that? An MS rep said that there's already an x64 MCE in
beta. Check this thread, 7th post from the top.

Nope. There is no plan for it before Longhorn. And doing so before Longhorn
would be rather complicated...

OK, then I'm still wondering why an MS rep said outright that MCE x64 is
running in-house, just as a beta?

Dunno. It likely is running already on Longhorn builds. But there are some
specific reasons why releasing pre-Longhorn would take way more work than
it's worth...

No, we wont have Tablet either.

I dont know why the prior statements were made, but they are unfounded.
