You need to buy the WinXP Pro upgrade CD - I think it's usually under $200.
I don't use XP Home so I don't know about IIS in it....but there are other
webservers you can probably use if you wish. If you're planning on hosting a
publicly-accessible website on your home computer, though, I advise against
it.
