Media Center Edition is essentially Windows XP Professional, plus its
media-related additions, and minus the ability to join a domain.

Hi Mike,

MCE 2005 will not join a domain, unless its done during the initial
installation. Outside of that, MCE is a superset of XP Pro.

WinXP Media Center Edition is a _superset_ (iow, it does
_everything_ WinXP Pro can do (except join a domain), plus contains
additional multi-media features) of WinXP Pro.
