Feel Duped by Microsoft with MCE NOT being allowed to join DOMAIN

I just purchased a brand new computer with MCE 2005 and NEED to join my
domain because that is where all my files, and my children's homeschooled
programs, etc. are located. It is imperative. Last I had checked into it,
there was no problem with MCE and domain log in.

Now, I am stuck with a computer that does not have this ability as my new
school year is coming to a start and I need this capability. WHY on earth
would microsoft disable this?

I don't have a clue how to go about reloading the software to have a the
chance to change this during setup. Surely microsoft realizes that these
computers come with the os already installed and they are making what should
be a pleasant occasion filled with misery because the darn computer is
rendered useless for what we need it for.

WARN your customers about what your programs NO LONGER do because they may
believe they will be getting a functioning computer.

This is a joke and I am furious.
