Will XP MCE work on a mac mini?

As the title says, was thinking about buying a mac mini with all the hype around it now being able to run windows. Has anyone any experience of this?
Also, will a Mac run Windows Media Center?

Cheers.

Ive heard that its not "officially" supported but I've heard of folks getting MCE to run on their *intel* macs. Not a standard one though.

One thing to remember though is, as of now there is no support for the Apple Remote in windows XP, so it's kind of pointless.
