The big differences are

You can remote control your PC from another PC in Pro.
Dual CPU Support
File Encryption for your Files
Multiple Language support
Better networking, for connecting to multiple networks
IIS (internet server)
the big one for me: XP home edition cannot join a domain, and the admin account is a bitch to get to

When you have a small server running win2k server with DHCP and DNS (slight overkill for 2-3 systems, but why not), home ed. is not an option.


but my vote would be win2k professional - unless you are a avid gamer, then you might want to consider dualbooting with win98 for those games that work better there
