This is a little 'unclear' in the comparison chart.
Windows 7 Pro includes "Domain Join" so does that mean you won't be able to join Home Premium machines to a domain and will only be able to use workgroups? Or is that just a 'different' way to join it to the domain, with the ability to do that still in all versions of 7?
My spouse and I are both IT professionals, and are looking to go to Win7 at home... and the Home pricetag is much more friendly for 5 PCs than the Pro price tag... but since we run a DC at home, we need to be able to join our machines to it. We don't NEED anything that Pro/Ultimate have to offer... except this one pesky question I'm not finding an answer to.
This is probably a dumb question, but like so many people, we skipped right over Vista, and have always run XP Pro at home.
