If it is $50.00 I can assure you(99%) it is pirated software. Also if you can't register it and get updates thats a dead give away that it is a hack. XP Pro has much more powerful networking options than XP Home. I find it to be more stable and less troublesome than XP Home. If you can afford it XP Pro is definitly better in my opinion. ----- Original Message ----- From: Phyllis To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, September 27, 2004 12:00 PM Subject: Re: [A-1-Computer_Tech] Re: XP PRO CD (i suggest this..)
