XP Home lacks the file security options XP Pro has. If that is okay with you and if you don't have a dual CPU system or need to log onto a domain, then Home is fine.

Shouldn't that have been: If that is okay with you and if you don't have a dual CPU system or need to log onto a domain, or need braggin rights then Home is fine.

Anyway I agree with Nuke, XP Home will do fine as long as you don't need the options he mentioned.
