Re: OS? Home or Pro?

It is inconsequential only if you have ready access to a pirated or
2nd hand copy of XP Pro, or the skills necessary to find one on the
web.

There is really no debate here.  If you need one of the Pro
features, get it.  If you don't then save your money.

Those of us in the computer industry have a tendency to want the biggest
and best thing.  That's fine, but not necessarily relevant for
those looking for a low cost platform to run audio applications.

For most people it boils down to this: if you need to connect the
computer to a network run by a university or business, then get XP
Pro.   If you don't then the chances are good you will never notice
the difference.  Read the various feature comparison lists and decide.
But don't be afraid that Home is less stable than Pro, it isn't.
