You got some bunk information.  Media center 2005 is released to anyone who wants it.  Search Newegg.com for it and you can buy a copy directly from them.

Do they still require a hardware purchase for it? Or is that merely a "suggestion"?

Yes, but I would reccomend just purchasing the Remote. I believe that counts as a hardware purchase.

still required, but not for long

nope, MCE is sold to the general public only with full PCs from big OEMs

the Action Pack is reserved to some type of professional customers if I remember well

from MS's site : The Microsoft Action Pack Subscription is restricted to resellers, consultants, value-added resellers, value-added providers, system integrators, developers, system builders, hosts, service providers, and IT professionals who sell Microsoft products or provide solutions based on Microsoft products and technologies to third-party customers .

I don't know what "Beta tester privileges and various reports" your talking about but you can now purchase the new version of MCE (2005) from a retailer as a OEM copy.

With MCE 2004 you could only receive it for general use through a large OEM, but not with MCE 2005.

Technically, if you're building a new system you're a small "OEM"... ;)

bought them at a small specialized retailer in the south of france (yup)

the desks brand is Ofitres (www.ofitres.com), spanish stuff, I'm not sure you'll find that easily in UK

these are pretty sturdy desks, 3cm thick wood panels, they can resist to heavy weights and shocks and the sides are reinforced, 7 year warranty for the whole thing

    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates

      By testman · Posted

      Nothing is stopping you from continuing with your testing cadence. If updates are released every 2 weeks instead of 4, and you test once every 4 weeks, the exact same amount of patches will still be available for you in those 4 weeks. For example: Before 4th week - patch 1, 2, 3, 4 After 2nd week - patch 1 and 2 4th week - patch 3 and 4 Still the same amount after 4.
    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates

      By testman · Posted

      Everyone else has said it. I'm gonna say it - you don't know what you're talking about. I do. I have two laptops. One work, one personal. I have access to two more laptops - both personal. At home I manually update my personal laptop when I see on Neowin that there is an update - I carry on and only apply the updates when I am ready. My work one only updates when my workplace decides to send it - I carry on and only apply the updates (when they actually arrive, which is usually days after the release) when I switch off the laptop at the end of the day as usual. The two other personal laptops only get updated when I get to it which is rarely - the people who own them carry on using them until I get to it and update them. All of the browsers on all laptops are configured to restore the tabs when launched. Google and Microsoft have changed from 6 weeks to 4, and it looks like it's going to move to 2. None of these changes affect how any of these browsers on the laptops are used. Not one jot. My advice to you is stop panicking whenever you see an update. Just carry on with what you're doing. This even benefits you in a way - from your comment you sound like you don't like the changes or the frivolous new features - great - then carry on as before!

    • Linux 7.1 arrives with an NTFS overhaul and major hardware performance boosts

      By Max Norris · Posted

      Nice, hope they *finally* fixed the issue with the NTFS driver where the system would completely brick during large file copies using the built in driver. It's been broken for years requiring me to use the older, slower, NTFS-3G FUSE driver.
