It has everything in Professional (except the ability to join a domain) plus its extra media features. Unless you need to join a domain (and from the above, it wouldn't seem so) MCE should be fine for you, even if you never need or use its media features. -- Ken Blake - Microsoft MVP Windows: Shell/User Please reply to the newsgroup >> Stay informed about: Home, Media, Professional XP differences
