And that is about the extent of it.

Media Center has a fair bit that Pro doesn't, but that was not the
question.

Answered in another newsgroup. Please do not send the same message
separately to more than one newsgroup (called multiposting). Doing so just
fragments the thread, so someone who answers in one newsgroup doesn't get to
see answers from others in another newsgroup. And for those who read all the
newsgroups the message is multiposted to, they see the message multiple
times instead of once (they would see it only once if you correctly
crossposted instead).

If you must send the same message to more than one newsgroup, please do so
by crossposting (but only to a *few* related newsgroups).

Please see "What is the accepted way to share a message across multiple
newsgroups?" at http://smjg.port5.com/faqs/usenet/xpost.html
 
And if you've ever tried that, the domain join works fine during
installation, but the first time windows boots, it takes you back out of the
domain! (just had to spend $279 to get a Gateway computer that a customer
purchased onto a domain.) Domain membership is disabled on MCE. Also
cached credentials are disabled.

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.
