There was no difference between HOME and PRO, I did a lot of research and it has nothing different.

You didn't research well then did you? XP Home doesnt have IIS or that kinda stuff whereas XP Pro does.

anyway...

I'll try for either Ultimate or Professional :)

Home doesn't have Remote Desktop server either, only the client.

XP MCE can't connect to domain networks either.

Ill probably go for Pro or Home Premium.

Also anyone sticking with Windows XP once 7 is out should be shot IMO.

What about just for people like me who use it as a VM on mac to run 1 pr 2 programs ? Like the only reason i have it is so i can run corel 12 for tech at school.

Tell that to the VMware / Netbook / Legacy Computer users. I obviously wont be running Windows 7 with Unity on my Mac:P. Why use something that hogs all my resources and gives me no extra features I will use when I can just stick with good old XP, which is very capable ;).

Fine by me, but not on NEWER computers, then they should be shot.

Microsoft should be ashamed with what they achieved with Vista... but proud at the success of Fisher-Price XP! Hopefully businesses will be quick to the take with Windows 7; at least quicker than the change to Vista, baring in mind many still stuck with XP.

I must admit that I'm in the crowd of "I hate these different versions". Two versions I could understand. This is ridiculous, even if it is a financially sound model for Microsoft.
