Ah, what features make a business OS?  What makes a home OS?  Is it OK 
for the vendor to drop (worse, cripple) key features from an OS to make 
a home edition?  It makes you wonder what else they may have 
removed/crippled; do you get any features in return aside from reduced 
cost?

I'm not saying that joining a network should be required for XP, but 
that it seems silly to completely remove it.  And no, it doesn't compare 
to say RH selling server versions vs personal versions, they don't 
cripple the SW by doing that.

Regards,

Robert
