RE: XP Home or Pro?

Home both Home and Pro
Work XP

I would not upgrade the Home edition on an AMD E-Machine because that's my
ladies and she doesn't like change but I am aleady at XP on my Lap top and
as I have already told you have entered the "Trail of Tears" with a Vista
machine. Spent over 3 hours on the phone today trying to resolve a Vista
Network problem.
Looking forward to more tomorrow.

Although in absolute terms this is kind of a PC question, I'm hoping David
will be OK with it as I need the widest consensus I can get.

Here's the question.

What flavor of XP (Home or Pro) do you use: 

A) At work

B) At home

C) If you use "Home" in either location - would you consider upgrading to
"Pro" in order to evaluate a piece of software (and yes I know there's no
real reason to restrict it - but ...) or would you simply ignore it and move
on.

Hopefully this won't degenerate into an "MS is wonderful/sucks" debate -
this is just information I am seeking to assist a non-System i software
vendor in shaping their approach to our market.
