I have a new client, 10 users in all, who is running most of his

network his clients.

What would you tell him as far as functionality that is lost by using
Home vs. Prof. for his client workstations? What would you advice
him to do?

Thanks!

They can't join the domain, can't have a single login, can't participate in
group policy, no remote desktop to the PCs, yaddayaddayadda. All PCs must to
be on Pro...he needs upgrades.

I don't even get Home for my small office/single user computers, honestly.
It's just too crippled.
