What feature(s) missing from XP Home vs. XP Pro are there that you can't live without?
I not a big fan of Microsoft products, but I can remember the misery of supporting NT 3.5 and 4.0, and XP Home seems to be a fairly decent desktop OS compared to where Windows was at 9 years ago. After installing Cygwin and a few other tweaks my Presario Laptop with XP Home is almost the Powerbook that I really wanted, but at 1/3 the cost.
