Sorry, but I don't agree. It can be usefull for Win9x clients, to have a
domain, because then they are able to logon to a WindowsNT Domain, and
thus having all the benefits, of logon scripts, roaming profiles, and
policies. So from this point of view they are a better choice than XP
Home clients, which can't use a domain at all.
