Windows XP Pro will join a domain. XP Home will not. Which versions of Vista
will not join a domain?

XP Pro has a limit of 10 peer computers to which it can connect. What are the
limits for the various versions of Vista?

I don't know of any documentation on this, but I understand the limits to be
similar as to Home versus Office versions.

It's essentially the same as it was in XP. Vista Home (whether Home
Basic or Home Premium) can not join a domain.

Again, it's the same in Vista as it was in XP--ten connections. But
note that in both XP and Vista, the limit is ten connections (of all
types), not ten computers.

Thanks all. Please give me of an example of ten connection with five computers.

Example of 10 connections with 5 computers would be you have a Vista or XP
machine and you create 2 files shares on it.
You then have 5 machines create a drive map to each of the shares - thus 10
connection by 5 machines.
