Re: XP Home or Pro?

pro only, even at home, even the kids computers
(and when they go to college, most will not accept "Home")
I make customers who buy Home return it or upgrade...

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.
