>From the FAQ (posted weekly in this newsgroup) :

[1.2.3] Are there plans to make Windows XP Media Center Edition 2004
        available as an upgrade package for non-media Center PCs?
Microsoft is aware that this is a common request, however no such plans have
been announced.

There are also a few threads in this newsgroup as to why this is so
(speculatively speaking as we don't have the official answer).
