OS Benefits

Why is it that people consider XP Professional to be far superior to XP Home?
Unless you're in an environment that uses the extra features of XP Pro (and most home users are not), then you don't need it.
This would be tragic if not in pretty much every scenario this comes up in, the PC in question has a perfectly valid and happy XP Home product key stuck to it. And the ironic thing is, the XP Pro that's somehow found it's way onto the computer is almost always a cracked copy that'll get flagged up straight off by Genuine Validation.
