Xbox 360 only compatible with Windows XP MC?

Just reading news, and wondering if Microsoft is really dumb enough to limit the media transferring (Video, music, etc) to Media Center edition PCs? I mean, is the penetration for those 'set top' PCs really enough to add all those features to Xbox 360 if they DON'T work with Vanilla XP?

Plus, if they already HAVE a Media Center set top box, isn't that just duplicating the features the set top box already has? This just seems like a really poor move on MS's part.

However, if it does support all XP PCs, or at least comes with software you can install on XP to make it work, then that's awesome.

Photos, music will work with any flavor of XP

TV, DVD's (over ethernet, not on 360), videos, etc. will need XP Media Center

Why would you stream a DVD from your computer? I'll be pissed if videos don't work with Windows XP professional. Xbox Media Center / Samba kicks ass.
