I'm not planning on getting Vista for a couple years as this will allow both Microsoft and hardware manufacturers to get everything squarred away. MS has an incandid ability to have problems during the first year of a new OS release.

So, with that in mind, my suggestion is to get rid of your XP Home and upgrade to XP Pro. What are you planning on doing with the old computer? If you are going to keep it, network it with your new one. If not, wipe the OS from the hard drive and slave it as a data backup.
