Default Vista vs XP MCE question

Does Vista's MCE work any better than XP's? Im having a lot of trouble with XP MCE latley and im considering buying Vista MCE just to get me through.

I have a computer i use as an HTPC, and MCE XP just lockes up in when your using media center, the computer doesnt lock up just the software. It is fully up to date and no virus's ect.

Windows 7 MCE is better.

MS improved compatibility and added a bunch of nice little features.


You can also always try some of the open-source MC.
