If I had any interest in XP at all, I'd still have a pretty tough time
imagining why I'd ever want XP Home. It's basically XP Professional
with the balls cut off.
If you want XP Pro for about a hundred dollars cheaper, buy an upgrade
CD. You don't want to actually install it as an upgrade, mind you;
it'll do a full install, despite the name. You just have to have a CD
from an earlier version of Windows handy. At some point in the
installation, it asks for you to insert the earlier version CD for
verification purposes.
Of course, if I had an earlier Windows (other than ME), I'd just use
that instead. Even Win95 is preferable to the licensing nightmare of XP.
