Hey everyone,  
Just wondering, what are the advantages of upgrading from XP Home to XP Pro? I am aware that Pro contains extra network and security features, but those are features that I would probably never use anyway. Are there any hidden benefits like increased performance, etc. that a Home user like me is missing out on by not running Pro? 😛

Cheers!
