Ed,

This is a major change to how XP functions - or is it more like how Fast
User Switching has to be disabled for domain-level access in the non-MCE XP?
Was this modification incorporated into the 2005 release to allow for the
multiple sessions and associated configuration wizards to work for automatic
login by the eXtenders? Are we to assume then that MCE 2005 no longer can
be viewed strictly as XP Pro with a shell? Are there other XP Pro
"features" that are disabled or different?

What happens if a 2004 machine is a member of a domain and it gets upgraded
to 2005? What will the failure mode be - will it have to be put back in a
workgroup before the setup process will run? This could affect some of the
stored content that is saved to a user's personal documents and settings
area while logged in as a domain account?

Regards,
