Microsoft KB314882 in error?

I am quoting now;
"CAUSE
This behavior occurs if the computer reaches the maximum number of inbound connections that the computer can host.

For Windows XP Professional, the maximum number of other computers that are permitted to simultaneously connect over the network is ten. This limit includes all transports and resource sharing protocols combined. For Windows XP Home Edition, the maximum number of other computers that are permitted to simultaneously connect over the network is five.

This limit is the number of simultaneous sessions from other computers the system is permitted to host. This limit does not apply to the use of administrative tools that attach from a remote computer.

Note that this limitation applies only to inbound connections to Windows XP. When you use Windows XP, unlimited outbound connections can be established to other systems."

In reference to the last sentence; I thought the limit of any operating systems "outbound connections" were limited by the domain servers OS? Can someone please explain Microsoft's statement to a lay person like myself?
And what about a Windows XP Pro machine that is not logging into the network, it can have "unlimited outbound" connections? I just don't think so.
