[UK-CONTEST] XP Home vs Professional

[Alex GM3ZBE]

Just to muddy the waters!
I have XpPro on my desktop and XP home on my Dell Inspiron laptop, they work
very well in a wireless network, no issues with any of my commercial or Ham
software.
Not that I am at all expert on the matter - my son set it all up.  Oh yes
and the keyboard and mouse on the desktop PC are wireless too!

That might not be the case for dual core, have a look at:

Not that I use home apart from on my wifes laptop - everything here is
XP pro or servers.

I concur with your other points.
