XP Home or Pro
At my business we have all PCs with XP home. The only sharing we do is the occassional folder and we do share printers a lot. This was no big deal with Home (just allow sharing on the printer). Recently I bought a new computer and it has XP Pro. To set it up to share the printer attached to it seemed more complicated than with Home. I still havent been able to print from other PCs on that Pro PC. I ran a networking wizard that I thought would fix it. My question is, I am about to buy another PC, should I get Home or Pro for my needs? So far Pro has just made what I thought was simple (printer sharing) seem more complicated. But maybe it is just my lack of knowledge of how Pro works with networking. I would appreciate any guidance.

Personally, I always get pro so I don't have to do a song and dance to get around the limitations of Home.
