    Anyone tried using a late-model Acer AspireRevo as a media center computer?

    I think it would be fine for streaming 1080p. And yeah, it doesn't look like it has the room for any sot of cards, except maybe mini-pci. Hard to tell without owning one, though.

    Adding Windows XP To A Vista Machine

    You might try booting off the Windows XP CD and selecting the newly created partition in text-mode setup. It *should* see the vista install and bootloader and just add it to the menu as an option.
