Since I am running a peer to peer network I can go with either XPee Home or
Pro. But let me tell you there are a whole lot of
things that don't work as expected in a non-domain environment; even with XP
Pro. Make changes to local security policy (like require Ctl-Alt-Del for
logon) and voila, nothing happens!!!

Even more convoluted Windows from M$, isn't that a shock.
