the pro class is more robust and secure than the home class of the operating
system. It is not the authorization that is at issue although it is the
authorization that provides the level of authorization, it's the class of
user and its attributes that make the difference in the charge. It is kind
of like expecting to pay the same price for premium quality gas that you pay
for gas of a lesser quality.

Wow this is interesting. I to have no problems with the authorization I
have
for 98 and the authorization for winxp home which work off the same disk.
But
if all you need is a new disk, then why does FS charge so much for the nt or
xp-pro authorization. They say it works differently but ...
