Differences between Windows Xp professional and Windos Xp Media Ce

[Mike Brannigan [MSFT]]

Did you see Mike Brannigan's comment abput MCE not having all of the
Pro functionality? He specifically mentions logging onto a domain as
one capability that was removed from MCE.

That makes MCE more like a superset of XP Home, or rather a second
superset of XP Home, with XP Pro being the first superset.

Hi Ron,

There are a couple of ways around the loss of Domain membership - such as
upgrade from MCE 2004 or join the domain during setup as we have not added
the MCE 2005 bits at that point.
But doing this will not allow you to use the Extenders which rely on
functionality only available to non domain joined machines.

Yes, I've seen it since posting. I believe this is new with the
latest version (2005) of MCE, but not the original.
