I have both but I prefer Pro's security. It's mainly what you intend to do.
If you are just wanting to surf and use it as a family PC then the Home version will save some $$.

to make things clear...

im using XP pro then i decided to re format so i can delete unwanted files...much easier for me

but when im done some of my programs wont run
like acrobat, who wants to be a millionaire..etc...

are all XP pro the same? maybe i got the earlier XP pro with lots of bugs...

i dont want to make it sound stupid, but you do remeber that you have to reinstall each and every program there after a re-format and clean install of an OS, right?
