Hi,

A simple question - Does Media Center Edition include all functions of
Professional plus those for "fun" or it is based on Home plus additional.

Specifically, such as join domain, IIS, and so on for business use.

Thanks in advance.

XP long lives.

"Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005 does not support a scenario
where you join your computer to a domain."

Hi,

Many thanks for your information. Too bad, I didn't find it from MS site.

So I guess that means I will use Pro.

Thanks again.
