xp home vs xp pro

Would I be getting more bang for my buck by upgrading to win xp pro over my xp home os? Or should I say, are there benefits in xp pro that I'm missing out on?

Unless you plan on doing some advanced networking on a whole lot of PCs, XP Home will be fine. Its a common misconception that Pro is alot better, when it actually only is if you have specific networking needs.

Most people only need XP Home. Sure Pro may have a few extra goodies, but not exactly worth the extra cash for normal home use.
