Absolutely I agree, no one needs xp/pro at home if you have the choice.

My own opinion is that you should not buy the SMA either, as you're
paying for a software product which you don't know if you want, nor do
you know the quality of.  If everyone did, there would be very little
incentive for FS to turn out upgrades with significant new features, and
which were relatively bug free.
