Media Center Edition: XP Pro or Home?

How can you tell XP from XP PRO?

I bought the Media Center Edition because I read that it's
OS was XP PRO, and my development environment requires
NT4, Win2K, or XP PRO.

Now that I've installed it, it looks to me like XP HOME.

I typed IPCONFIG, as opposed to "WINIPCFG" and it works,
along with "CMD" instead of "COMMAND", but never having
owned XP HOME, I can't be sure. It seems too friendly
to be XP HOME.

What gives?

Windows Media Center Edition 2002/2004 is a superset of Windows XP
Professional.

MS may call it a "superset", but I didn't see anything that was
available, not already available in WinXP Pro or download/install for
XP Pro?
