Re: [NF] Installing XP Pro over XP Home

Right, Yeah, for people who demand the most complexity and obfuscation... Well, for a small network you can get away with XP Home in a Workgroup, sure. If you had 50 machines on a network to administer and keep secure you'd be begging for things like group policy and centralised administration
