My 2005 edition quite happily connects to my domain. All I have to do to
turn off the media centre features is disable Media Center Receiver Service
and the Media Center Scheduler Service and stop the MCE application from
auto launching at Windows Startup... 

Doing that gives me a straight XP Pro desktop with a domain login and the
ability to go full blown MCE with a simple batch file to turn on the
services and launch the MCE applications... It makes for a much more
versatile Home PC than just running MCE all the time :)
