Windows MCE is XP Pro, plus the MCE features and minus some XP aspects, primarily networking. It is not an add-on, it's a complete OS.There's no legal way to get MCE onto your machine. You can buy it, around $115 at Newegg, and either replace your OS, or set-up as dual boot. It also is available in two versions of Vista.
