You might try this link:
http://flac.sourceforge.net/

If you search Google, you get a lot of hits.

No crap sherlock! I'm looking specifically for MediaCentre not for
Windows generally. I have the FLAC plugins installed for Windows Media
Player, however MediaCentre doesn't see them. Your search via Google
is a generic one for FLAC.

I only asked here as I figured some of you might be serious
audiophiles and had used FLAC with MediaCentre. Guess not.

aybe one of the results from the following simple Bing search on "Flac 
Windows 7" will help you;

Well I guess that's OK. I managed to find the information on my own.
FTR and in case someone wants to know in the future here is a useful
website for adding FLAC support to Media Center;
