WMC is one--which is why I bought Pro in the first place. I knew I

OK, you made a good choice. But you also claim "Most users of Home
versions do not need more because they are not running much in terms
of software." That's patently false and ridiculous. Nearly all
software will run just as well on a Home edition as on a Pro
edition.

I am aware of the non-Windows alternatives to WMC. However, none
of them are as *good* as WMC in terms of ease of use and efficacy.

Your opinion. I don't use the thing myself, but I know others who
prefer other solutions.

Someone who has a clue--and 37+yrs in the desktop computer
business. I was designing and writing business/productivity
software for desktop computers before the first IBM PC was ever
designed or sold.

Bravo. I've been in the field just a couple of years less.
