laptop

hi, Nigel

The laptop that I want to have, has Windows Media Center. I was reading on
net that the main differance between
Win XP Pro and WMC is that WMC has 'joining a domain capability disabled'.
.---------------
Here is an excerpt:
Media Center is essentially just an application that's
installed on top of the XP Pro operating system.

Other than two specific networking features that are
disabled (domain joining after installation, and
cached credentials), MCE 2005 _IS_ XP Pro.

---------------

Questions to IT:

1. What does 'joining a domain capability disabled' mean, does it mean that
i cant be on the office network.

2. Ideally i need XP pro installed where do they get their machines from.



regards,

irfan
