Thanks, Barb. That *was* my question. Could it be done. I knew that older
versions of Windows could be upgraded but wondered if this one could.

>There are a lot of reasons for an MT to want Pro over Home

Since I don't do MT anymore, there are no MT reasons for it. I've used Office
and the "professional" versions of Windows for so long, I've gotten used to
them. There are a lot of abilities that Home doesn't have.

>with Home?

I'll take either. The computers I have picked out all have Home installed. I
can get my daughter to install Pro without a problem but I don't want the
hassle of having to wait for a computer. I need the new one up and running
ASAP.

>There are lots of computers out there being sold with Pro

I have found a couple of them, but really like the speed and memory better on
the ones with Home. Also, like the price (for what you get) better.
