True,

although you do need to have a net card that has the drivers built
into the MCE installation CD or if you feel like an extra bit of
effort you could slipstream the driver into the installation.
However to do this you would need the OEM pre-installation kit that
comes with the three pack of MCE OEM.

You would also find some difficulty in running extenders, which rely
on fast user switching which is disabled when you join a domain. You
may find some hacks to do this with the HP or Linksys extender but I
am not aware of any hacks for the XBox extender and fast user
switching.
