Taking a look at the Microsoft comparison page, I don't think I would ever choose XP Home. But one of the main reasons I went for Pro was that you could install IIS on it (though you can "hack" Home edition to do that, it just means you won't be able to install SP1 after doing so - something like that).	agent (30)
