what would you guys say is the biggest advantage of XP Pro over Home.
especially in the context of a home network?

is there one?

even in the midst of a large home network (7+ machines)

not really.

In many cases Pro can be bought for the same price (or less) than home. (OEM, of course.)
 
uh, the 2 major differences

Pro supports multiple CPU's
Pro can join a domain

neither of those is an issue with 99% of home PC users

Yeah, the only differences that I know of between the two are that with the Pro verison you can log in to a win2k domain and you have the ablity to encrypt your files.
