    It runs on both. The differences between the two OS are fairly esoteric and
    relate primarily to networking functionality.

    SW doesn't formly support XP Home, but others have got it to work on it. XP
    Home is not recommended because it is like using Win 95, 98 and ME...they
    are all bad memory managers. You will more than likely have more problems
    with SW than you would if you used Windows 2000, or XP Pro

    Regards,

    Home is fine.

    The only major difference to XP Pro as opposed to Home is the ability
    to join a Domain under Pro.

    XP Home may not be recommended but your explanation is untrue.

    DOS->WinX.X->Win9X->WinME->dumpster
    WinNTX.X->Win2000->WinXP->Future Windows Junk

    For all general purposes Windows 2000, XP Home, XP Profession, etc. etc.
    are just newer versions of WindowsNT. All NT variants are good at
    memory management compared to Windows95/98/ME.
