What XP to get?

Ok here is the question. I am comfortable with Win2kPro and 9x/ME. What XP should I get Pro or Home. I am a home user but there are some things that I like to tinker with in 2kPro. I really don't need the multi-processor support of the Pro versions.

Ok here is the question. I am comfortable with Win2kPro and 9x/ME. What XP should I get Pro or Home. I am a home user but there are some things that I like to tinker with in 2kPro. I really don't need the multi-processor support of the Pro versions. Also will compatibility be better with older software. I am concerned since some of my software doesn't work with 2k even with the new SP2 compatibility mode. Will that software not work since 2k and XP are both based on the NT kernel? And finally are there any guesses on what the cost of this thing will be?

Good. I missed msconfig in Win2k. Wow, WinXP looks really appealing. Can't wait till I get RC1. Should take about???? 6 weeks to get it. Took me 6 weeks to get Office 2000 SP1 on CD from MS. Funny thing is when I got the CD, SP1a came out.
