XP Home vs. XP Pro

Hey all! I'm in the midst of slowly building a new PC and I would just like to ask a few opinions of which OS I should go with. I have a $90 Microsoft Lawsuit Settlement check that I will be buying XP Home or XP Pro with.

Hey all!
I'm in the midst of slowly building a new PC and I would just like to ask a few opinions of which OS I should go with. I have a $90 Microsoft Lawsuit Settlement check that I will be buying XP Home or XP Pro with. I would like to get a few responses as to the advantages that XP Pro has, making it worth the extra dollars or not? Please share what OS you think is the best choice and for what reasons! Thanks!

There's a page on the MS site that lists the differences....I'll see if I can dig the link up but hopefully someone else will post it first.
 
If your just a home user then XP Home will work fine.
 
Of course if your $90 covers the cost of XP Pro then you should of course get the better version.
