well you make an image when xp goes wrong just place the cd and run it take 6 mins to reinstall xp and you dont need to activate it again plus you have all your drivers etc.. so theres no need to spend hours re install everything again. anyway iam drunk lolololo at this moment. what i do is install xp pro office and other tools that i used then make an image off it so when ever i have problem i just put the dvd in run it . and have all my app and os working, much faster in the long run.

Why get stressed over someone liking XP Pro over XP Home? Chill.

Craig.

Because people are jumping in with:

"OMG PRO OBVIOUSLY OMG =/"

WHY? The only difference is the networking side and that isn't exactly major. People are recommending pro simply because it has "pro" in its name, thus meaning that home is totally pants and cut down, when this is not the case.

Anyone who buys XP retail right now perhaps, seeing as it's about to be superceded by Vista. Anyone buying XP 3-4 years ago however, may well have been better advised to buy the retail version as it would do them for many upgrades / new machines in that time.

You have a legal volume license key? Why do I doubt that...

Sorry dude, that's the biggest load of BULL I've ever heard. The core of both operating systems is the same.

Oh my, so many illegal hints and tit bits in this thread I'm not going to leave it open. Besides, OP has made his decision.

Fwiw, I agree entirely with post #3. And I agree strongly with:
