  10. Umm, you are wrong sir. on Microsoft Vista Info Leaked · · Score: 1

    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/887212 as someone who has a domain controller at home, I know I cannot have a media center pc

    Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005 does not support a scenario where you join your computer to a domain. Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005 is designed as the foundation for a premier home entertainment system. Media Center lets you share Media Center content with other locations in the home by using Media Center Extender devices. Media Center Extender devices require concurrent connections, and these connections are available only through the Fast User Switching component. Therefore, the domain join functionality in Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005 is disabled.

    as the main point of pro over home is in fact, the ability to join a domain- I'd say it's really not the same thing at all...
