To Answer your question
2) Reasons to choose Windows XP Pro over the Home edition?
Pro offers better security, administration and a few other features.
I just bought a Sony Vaio NV- 170 with Home edition on it. I did not know
much about laptops, but soon found out that I can not use their PRO system
restore disc's as they tell me there is a code letter in the Bios that
checks and will prevent loading a different kind then what came with it.
It has a lot of preparatory Sony programs I do not want to lose, (Memory
stick reader). If I wipe the HD clean they tell me I can load the pro full
version I got from school. (#10). I have not yet quizzed them on telling me
how to load and keep there programs.
Long winded way of saying if your thinking about upgrading in the future,
give Dell a ring and make sure you can or what you can do, etc.
