Caveat: I have 2 WinXP Pro, 1 XP Home, 1 Win2K, and one triple-boot Win2K/Win98SE/Redmond Linux systems at home.
You realize that WinXP Home and WinXP Pro are really the same OS, with some functionality removed from the home version, right? http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/whichxp.asp Win2K and Win98 really were 2 completely different OS'es, with Win98 built on top of DOS and Win2K using the much more robust NT kernel. I do find it unforgiveable that Microsoft didn't include IIS in XP Home, it is very shortsighted on their part.
