    XP pro is the best as far as user interaction is concerned. I feel the most stable platform for a lan situation is likely XP/2000 tossup, 2000 is a good OS in my opinion.

    Then again, with the release of Windows Vista rapidly approaching these opinions are all likely to change.

    I have never tried WIndows XP Home, always used the pro version and am pretty much happy with it.

    Win2K Pro beats XP for the simple fact that 2K doesn't have product activation. XP Home edition is essentially a stripped down version of 2K. You can tell when you try to install IIS. XP Pro has IIS 6. XP Home can only handle IIS 5. And yes, I have personally installed and made use of IIS 5 on XP Home. It requires having a copy of 2K.

    I've used XP Pro but havn't yet found anything it has that 2K doesn't. 2K has only crashed on me when there was a severe hardware problem.
