I agree with DaveT. Every previous version of Windows since 95 could
join a domain. XP is the FIRST that cannot. So why would one check
for that feature? In my case the need came up well AFTER I had
purchased the computer. What is more infuriating is that MS charges
the whole upgrade price $189 to go from Home to Pro.


Wrong. No version of Win 9x can join a domain. They can participate in a
domain environment but can not be joined as NT based clients can.

Agree with the statement about Win9x accessing resources of a domain vs
joining. The same holds true for WinXP Home.
