Or how about one of those "not so subtle" differences!

I consider that "feature" to be crippleware, they have to intentionally
remove the feature so they can charge more for it !!

XP Home doesn't support domains...  It's one of the subtle differences
between Home and Pro.

Subject: [THIN] OT XP home on an NT domain

I have a fiend who brought his Windows XP Home OS computer to work.
This company has an NT 4.0 domain controller.  All of the other users are
running Windows 98. 
When the Windows 98 computers start up, you get a login prompt with the
three lines for Username, password and Domain.
When the Windows XP Home computer logs in, it does not even ask for a
username or password.  He can use all of the resources on the network and
even share his printer.  Every time he opens Internet Explorer (or any other
program that uses the Internet), he gets a login prompt, that asks for his
username and password.  He has to put in domainname\username in the username
line and his password in the next line.
I have tried to disable the fast login thing, so it asks for a username and
password, but I can not get it to ask for a domain name.
Does anyone know how to get the computer to ask for it just the once at
login, instead of retyping it every time he goes to the Internet?
Thank you,
Jeff Stockard
