Hi,

I am running a desktop with XP home SP2 installed. I have Pro SP2 on CD ready to install. I am wondering what the nest thing to do is, should I

A) Clean install XP Pro SP2

B) Upgrade Home with the Pro SP2 disk

or

C) forget the whole thing and carry on using home?

C] is your answer.

Save the pro for a rainy day.

Pro has a few networking and security goodies,but you can

do most of those things on Home with a bit of work..
 
Thanks BlameCanada,

unless anyone has any really good ideas why I should do anything else i'll follow your advice.

just to confuse you Wob, i advise u to clean install WINXP SP2 PRO.
it's better, more secure and... as the name says: it's professional.

why take the trouble to manually patch up HOME edition security flaws and exploits wen WINXP SP2 PRO is already immune to those loops?
