RE: XP Home or Pro?

2K Pro on my PC, XP Pro on my wife's.  XP Pro on the 2 desktops in the
basement (server + supplemental).  98SE on the old clunker laptop.  XP
Home came on my mother-in-law's laptop; it's fine for her.

When buying I always buy the OEM version.  Same functionality and a lot
cheaper (about $135 for XP Pro OEM with qualifying hardware).  I've also
got a couple of licenses for MS Office Pro; using our Home Use program
through work it only costs about $20.

However I'm really considering the Action Pack subscription for future
needs: https://partner.microsoft.com/40013779

I'm surprised David hasn't asked us to take this to the PCTECH list.
