That question kept me up for more than a few nights. I decided on home basically because there is nothing that pro really offers that I would use to make it worth the extra cash. But if you think you can change my mind somehow, hey give it a shot.

Well, I'm not going to try and change your mind, after discussions elsewhere I've come to the conclusion that Pro isn't really worth it.

I think the features mentioned were 'remote desktop' and a few business things like that, which the common man probably won't ever use.

lol... "common man" I like it, good title.

The only thing I have noticed is that network security is better; you can tweak it and disable "simple filesharing" in favor of a more win2000-esque style that actually allows you to specify users etc...

other than that home is fine.
