Most useful Windows version for FP?

[Andy Asberry]

From a FP perspective, would someone give a pro/con comparison of SP
Pro, Home and MCE?

I remember some discussion a couple of years ago but don't recall the
specifics.

TIA

It really doesn't make any difference...

You can run IIS server on XP Pro, but not on Home. Dunno about Media Center.

You can install IIS under Windows Media Center.

Hi Andy,

Window XP Pro because of the server capabilities.

I had been told that MCE was built on top of Pro. When you look at the
system info at the control panel of a machine running MCE, it says XP
Pro.

Thanks for everyone's reply.
