Vista Home Basic or Premium will not join a domain. Vista Business,
Ultimate, or Enterprise will.

I don't know of any documentation on this, but I understand the limits to be
similar as to Home versus Office versions.

It's essentially the same as it was in XP. Vista Home (whether Home
Basic or Home Premium) can not join a domain.

Again, it's the same in Vista as it was in XP--ten connections. But
note that in both XP and Vista, the limit is ten connections (of all
types), not ten computers.
