    Windows XP home, Windows XP pro and windows XP MCE are seperate operating systems. MCE has a few differences mostly related to device drivers, so they can work with the MCE software. The updates will only work for the specific operating system you are running. Theres an issue with getting MCE onto a domain. From microsoft: Can I connect a new PC running Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005 to a work network or domain? While you can access network resources on a work network or a domain, you cannot join a Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005 PC to the domain. PCs running Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005 are designed specifically for home use. Windows XP Professional features, specifically Domain Join and Cached Credentials (Credentials Manager for logons) are not included. As a result, you will be prompted for your logon user name and password to access network resources after you reboot or log back on to the PC. In addition, file shares or network resources that are set to require a domain-joined PC for access will not be available. Remote Desktop and Encrypting File System support are still included.
