Well spotted :-) Lets say that was a test! http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314882/ shows the details for XP - 10 for Pro, 5 for home. To anyone reading this and thinking \"ooh cheap way round having to buy a server\" please bear in mind that Windows 2000 and XP Pro are optimised to run applications not network access. Even a screen saver can seriously impact the performance on the computer :-) Server OS's on the other hand are designed to self-tune to meet conditions - and by default they lean towards to network first, local applications second. Thats why a \"Peer to Peer\" is never as nippy as a server based system :-)
