Media Player is for playing music and video on your PC. That's all (although
confusingly it can share stuff to other PCs and Xbox 360s)
Media Centre is for playing music and video on your PC, but is designed to
look and feel more like a TV, in fact if you have a TV Tuner it can let you
watch and schedule TV recordings. Media Centre is easier to control using a
remote - some folk connect they PC up to a big 50inch flatscreen, media
centre is designed for this.
If you have an XBox 360 on the same network, then you can view your Media
Centre screen via the Xbox.
