Okay, I'm a MCSE, and I'm confused. Must Consult Someone Experienced.
What the heck is the difference between XP Home and XP Pro? I think I can get by with the Home edition, since all I plan on doing is web browsing, burn CDs, watch DVDs, word processing, etc. So, what advantages does Pro have that Home doesn't.
I just love MicroSoft. I can understand the discontinuation of 95 in favor of 98, but now they will no longer certify drivers for 98, indicating that they will force obsolence on 98, as well as 2000. So, according to www.newegg.com, here are the OEM prices for the software:
Win98 SE - $91
WinMe - $91
XP Home - $90
XP Pro - $139
2000 Pro - $140
