Home Premium
Professional
If I didn't have a technet sub and the offer was available in Australia, I'd go for Home Premium.
I did pro. I'm not sure how many of my XP programs would run on Premium. For example Norton Save and Restore 2.0, Norton 9 Anti-Virus are most important to me. I'd rather be safe than sorry.
I'm doing a clean install on a new build and want to create system images to network drives. I have to buy Pro for image on network drives. I can find $15 more in change under my couch cushions. I don't see why someone would buy Pro unless it's an upgrade.
It's my understanding I could not use an upgrade version on a new machine because you need a previous install disk to make it work. Someone told me I could but I don't see how.
