I have a couple of w/s's with XP home, they use Vision w/o problems. There's stuff on the Tarantella NG about problems; basically they relate to XP sending the 'wrong' user name/password.
But the real reason you should avoid XP home at the office is, believe it or not, it doesn't play nicely with Windows networking(!) E.g., you can't log into an NT domain with it. The obvious comments will be omitted for brevity. -- _________________________________________ Nachman Yaakov Ziskind, EA, LLM awacs@egps.com Attorney and Counselor-at-Law http://yankel.com Economic Group Pension Services http://egps.com Actuaries and Employee Benefit Consultants

Many of the products and books I review are things I purchased for my own use. Some were given to me specifically for the purpose of reviewing them. I resell or can earn commissions from the sale of some of these items. Links within these pages may be affiliate links that pay me for referring you to them. That's mostly insignificant amounts of money; whenever it is not I have made my relationship plain. I also may own stock in companies mentioned here. If you have any question, please do feel free to contact me.
Specific links that take you to pages that allow you to purchase the item I reviewed are very likely to pay me a commission. Many of the books I review were given to me by the publishers specifically for the purpose of writing a review. These gifts and referral fees do not affect my opinions; I often give bad reviews anyway.
