Windows XP Media 2005 is Windows XP Professional with the Media utilites added in.
You should be able to do anything in XP Media as you can in XP Professional.
Hope this helps.

Install Linux and use that as an office server. You could use a slightly older PC if all you want is a file and print server. And it won't cost you $400.
