Re: FW: I think I already know the answer, but..

Joe,

From what I remember you can run it on XP Home, but IBM only supports it running on XP Pro. They stated this someplace once upon a time. Sorry don't remember where.

I figured I had better get the actual story. I think I may have messed
up with my recent laptop purchase. I got a screaming deal, but part of
that screaming deal is XP Home Edition.
Is it true that WDSC requires XP Pro rather than XP Home? If so, that
really bites because according to Microsoft it costs $200 to upgrade
from Home to Pro. I’ve seen cheaper upgrades on Amazon, but I’m not
sure how valid they are.
Any ideas?
