Work XP Pro Home (Main Machine) Mac OSX 10.4 and (Game Machine) XP Home -----Original Message----- From: midrange-l-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:midrange-l-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Jim Essinger Sent: Tuesday, February 20, 2007 2:55 AM To: Midrange Systems Technical Discussion 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. On 2/18/07, Jon Paris <Jon.Paris@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote:
Although in absolute terms this is kind of a PC question, I'm hoping David 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.
