One thing I found out is that Home won't let you set advanced permissions like Pro will, such as "only certain users can access certain directories"... you're basically stuck with kiddie Limited accounts and godlike Administrator accounts
Either that or I just forgot where to look for that setting...

My biggest swoop on the learning curve for XP was that I couldn't find anything anymore. Having spent years with 9x systems and knowing where every single network setting could be found was very comfortable. I opened up XP for the first time and said "What the hell is this? Apple?"

And now with SP2 the networking stuff for wireless has changed again. Eee-gad.

It's all in the regestry key settings. XP home can do anything that pro does.
