Welcome to XP Home -- that's why it's $100 cheaper than XP Pro ...

Not that it makes any sense to me, but still

That and the fact that hard core tasking like scanning runs notably slower on home then pro... According to a user that e-mailed me, wonder if that is deliberate? Hmmmm Well it's just a question/thought I had...

is it possible to hook up windows to a linux computer as if the linux computer were a router/firewall

maybe then you could just have the linux one log on, and windows will think nothing of it
