Re: OT: Operating System Upgrade
For me, Home hasn't been bad at all. But presumably if you're a more "advanced" user, Pro would be for you...I think?

Re: OT: Operating System Upgrade
The difference between Pro and Home?
http://www.theregister.co.uk/2005/06/03/xp_hack/
about two bytes apparently. 
I've been on Home and it ain't bad, a few things have run faster, a few slower. And I can now play with Google Earth and various other toys that only work on 2k or XP. Probably worth it overall.

Re: OT: Operating System Upgrade
One thing I found out is that Home won't let you set advanced permissions like Pro will, such as "only certain users can access certain directories"... you're basically stuck with kiddie Limited accounts and godlike Administrator accounts 
Either that or I just forgot where to look for that setting...

Re: OT: Operating System Upgrade
My biggest swoop on the learning curve for XP was that I couldn't find anything anymore. Having spent years with 9x systems and knowing where every single network setting could be found was very comfortable. I opened up XP for the first time and said "What the hell is this? Apple?"
And now with SP2 the networking stuff for wireless has changed again. Eee-gad.

Re: OT: Operating System Upgrade
It's all in the regestry key settings. XP home can do anything that pro does.

Re: OT: Operating System Upgrade
Ummmmmm.....No... But it shouldn't be too hard to figure out on your own.
2K is even better, you can regedit it right into 2K server.
