Personally I have XP Pro installed at work and on all my home PCs.  I
just like having all the nice lil' network & security bells & whistles
that Home just don't have.  But that's just my opinion. 


Thanks,

Subject: XP Home or Pro?

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.
