Microsoft is getting better- at taking us for everything we’re worth.. lawl.

So I was at work a few days ago, trying to figure out how to setup my Windows Vista: Home Edition computer to connect to a domain. Don’t ask me WHY my computer has Vista Home on it, at work, and not Business or Ultimate (my boss likes to cut corners). Anyways, I guess Microsoft figured that there should be no reason for someone to setup a domain at home since it’s primary purpose is to serve as a “home entertainment center”, so Home Edition doesn’t support it.

I ended up getting on the network using Windows Vista’s native VPN support though. Still annoying- but hey, that’s Microsoft.

Is it Possible to Set Up a Domain on Windows Vista?
Long story short- No. It’s not supported.

Which Versions of Vista Support it?
Vista Ultimate and Vista Business
