I'm going to buy 3 lowest-cost possible pcs for new trainee starting in our company.

I found some HP notebooks with Windows 7 Home Premium installed.

Will users be able to access to company Windows domain (i.e. to log as MY_COMPANY\username)?

Or do I need Windows 7 Pro?

Which functionalities are missing in Home version? Remote Desktop?

edit:

about sharing folders I can, with my linux machine along with my domain user and password, join the samba shared folders and printers and this could be enough for our needs.

Everithing Users need is:

• shared domain folders
• shared domain printers
• remote desktop to access server remotely
