Most people who just get a stock Dell box, they will have XP home on it. How are they supposed to learn web development on it if MS doesn't provide a web server to go with it?
It's probably true that most web developers use XP Pro, and personally, if I get a PC with XP home, I reinstall it right away with XP Pro, but there are people out there, who are using XP Home. The reason I brought this up, is I have a friend who I'm trying to get started with ColdFusion. They have XP Home, so we are forced to use Apache. I think it's ridiculous for MS to cripple the OS like that. Anyway, are there any good beginner sites that my friend can start going thru the tutorials on? Or should I just have them get a copy of CFWACK?
