The attached pic will show the differences.
You'll need to search around for lowest prices since they change all the time. www.newegg.com is a good place to look.

Not in the UK, in the good old USA. Thanks for the link EzyStvy. Looks like XP Media will do what XP Pro does & more. May get the media version.

XP Media Center is actually based on the features of Home, with the added media capabilities. Unless you're running a Home Theater style PC, with a TV tuner, that you want to control with a remote, those capabilities are probably unnecessary.
I'd just go for XP Home. You'd only really notice the benefits of Pro if you were doing advanced networking. FK

XP Home is cheaper at Newegg.com than Viosoftware.com

Last time I looked, Fry's (www.outpost.com) was selling it even cheaper yet.
Whoops! Looks like they cranked it back up again. For a few weeks they had XP Home OEM for $79. -Kev

Nope, it's 3 bucks less - Vio has free shipping.
