Think you mean Vista, not Visions. No matter. You only need XP Pro if you're going to be connecting to a large business network. Save your money and go with XP Home OEM for about $90.

I've used both Home and Pro and on a standalone computer there is not significant advantage to Pro. Some advantages on networks and definitely what you want for a large managed network.

I played with Vista RC1 and doubt I'll get it until I have to. No real advantages for me and I didn't like it.
