I am able to get XP PRO full student version from school for $10. Outside of
that, I do not have a good suggestion.
You did not say if your Dell puter was in or out of warrantee. Installing a
full XP version on your own may void your warrantee. If Dell does it, how is
the warrantee affected?
XP PRO differs substiantly from Home in certain areas.
1) you can NOT used XP Home with server 2003. (Most in here will not be
affected by that)
2) XP PRO has better security features for the OS. Maybe that will change
with XP SP2 but I do not know.
3) There is a feature that allows someone to come into a puter (with their
permission and a password) and work on the puter just as if they were at the
keyboard. BUT one puter MUST have XP PRO to do this.
That is about all that I know for sure, Maybe others know more or can be
more explicit.
I am not sure I can recommend doing an update with an update version, as
that usually means you have to have the originally OS CD to do another
format in the future. I, personally, do not like that situation. Therefore I
recommend you bite the bullet and purchase the full version.
