However why do you want to do this? Are you aware that XP
Professional is a superset of Home? Professional has features not in
Home, but there's nothing in Home that's not also in Professional,
and therefore no possible advantage to doing this.

One reason I can think of for doing this would be if one determined
they had an illegal version of XP Pro on their computer and decided
they wanted to have a legal system but opted not to shell out the
extra bucks for a retail copy of XP Pro. Home versions are
significantly less expensive.


Yes, that's a good point, and could possibly be the reason.

However, in my experience, most people who want to replace Professional with
Home do so because they think that somehow Home is better or more suitable
for them. They simply don't realize what the differences are between them.
