I have a numnber of PCs to do this on, is it likely to go smoothly?

Im assuming theres not much difference between the two, except some network features and security?

Done an upgrade before. Went fine.

Fresh install is always better though.

Anyone actually used XP Home to join a domain with server?

Im told it can be done, but im not sure what are the implications / disadvantages to not upgrading?
