Perhaps Xandros is not officially supporting the configuration change needed to auth. against a PDC to differentiate between the two releases. That way, if you don't need the feature (or know how to configure it yourself), you don't pay for it. MS does the same thing with Windows XP. The Pro edition can authenticate against a PDC and Home can't (not without a clumsy, kludgy workaround anyway)...and they charge much more for Pro.
