Media Center for Developers

I just bought a new laptop to be used as my dev box but it came with Windows
Media Center. Does this have all of the features of xp pro such as IIS, and
other things required by asp.net developers or am I going to have to Install
Windows XP Pro?

Is there any list of what xp pro has that media center does not?

Is media center based on xp pro or xp home?

Thanks,
G

If you wanna use IIS in Windows media center. Try to use .Net 2.0. There is
a way to create a service like IIS, using HTTPListener. An example is
included in MSDN.
