Subject: Re: XP Home or Pro?

XP Pro at work and home.  When I have had to support the Home version
connecting to my network (Parents laptop, exchange student laptop, etc.),
all I have had is trouble.  I find the network hand holding that MS does in
the home version to be a bunch of crap.

My 2 pennies worth.

will be OK with it as I need the widest consensus I can get.

Here's the question.

What flavor of XP (Home or Pro) do you use:

A) At work

B) At home

C) If you use "Home" in either location - would you consider upgrading to
"Pro" in order to evaluate a piece of software (and yes I know there's no
real reason to restrict it - but ...) or would you simply ignore it and
move
on.

Hopefully this won't degenerate into an "MS is wonderful/sucks" debate -
this is just information I am seeking to assist a non-System i software
vendor in shaping their approach to our market.
