No that is not an upgrade path. MACE 2005 cannot join a domain after
installation without a hack (Google for that), though I believe it can
during installation. I don't know how that's done, however. Someone else
may post with how to do that or you might want to post to the media player
newsgroup.

No, and No.

Transitioning from WinXP MCE to WinXP Pro is a _downgrade_.

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.
