Hey, Scripting Guy! Question How can I use Windows PowerShell to determine if a version of Windows 8.1 has Media Center installed?

Hey, Scripting Guy! Answer Use WMI and look at the Caption property of the Win32_OperatingSystem WMI class, for example:

Note  You can also use the alias GCIM, or use Get-WmiObject (alias GWMI).
