See http://www.winsupersite.com/showcase/windowsxp_home_pro.asp
for the list of things that are in Pro only. In addition Pro will
support ten simultaneous connections in a network - Home only five,
which *might* matter if you have more machines than that in your home
network
If you see no need for any of these Pro only matters, save money and get
Home. Only other reason that seems likely is if you want to go in for
file access control at the file/folder level
