Right now I have no specific Windows software in mind.
At this time I mostly want to use school-related study CDs that have been issued to us.
They do not have any packaging so I have no system requirements info to refer to. I know if I ask instructor he won't really know the answer as he's not all that computer-savvy.
Are there major differences between XP Pro and XP Home? I mean, besides price? ;-)
