No, I seriously doubt it.

If it were, JRiver and Microsoft would be in court right now. ;)  (Microsoft Windows XP Media Center (http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/mediacenter/default.mspx))

(Neither company was the first to use the term "Media Center" for their product.  I don't know who the first was, but I still have Jasc's Media Center Plus on my bookshelf. and I must have purchased that thing about 5 years ago, and that was Version 3!  (They no longer make that product anymore though, but they still seem to maintain the url:  http://www.mediacenterplus.com (http://www.mediacenterplus.com).)

The software is called 'JRiver Media Center' not Media Center.

Not the most catchy name, is it? ;)
