[UK-CONTEST] XP Home vs Professional

[Colin]

Clive,

I use XP Home on both the home desktop and my Compaq laptop.   The 
Desktop is hardwired into a Belkin Wireless G router and the old laptop 
with a Belkin PC card works perfectly at speed varying between 36 and 54 
Mbps depending on what part of the house I'm in.   I can see no reason 
to "upgrade" to XpPro.
