>Most likely you will not connect to a Domain of a customer with your personal laptop -- I do consulting with many customers and have never connected to their Domain. To do this requires that they setup the domain access for you on your laptop. You cannot 'just' connect to their domain. You have to be a Domain administrator to do this -- they will not give you that access type.

>All clients that I have worked with typically have a guest network that they allow consultants to connect to which is not domain controlled (and it is separated from their network by a firewall). It is typically controlled with a pass phrase for their network. In most cases I then have a user Id and password that is assigned to me to pass through their firewall and access the Internet.

>So you do not need the functionality of connecting to a Domain. The other consideration between Home and Professional is the ability to control more of the Windows security settings with Pro version; Home is restricted to what is delivered.
Thank you.
