Just my opinion, I run all aspects of Visual Studio including Asp development on XP Home with no problem at all. With me it's more an issue of being stubborn, I really have a hard time forking even more money over to Microsoft in order to get something that should have been included in XP Home anyway when XP Home can run it with some slight mods.

I am by no means the biggest computer guru in the world, but my home wireless network is supported perfectly under Home and so far the only thing that XP Home would not support without mods is the Asp Development portion of Visual Studio. I have a feeling many may disagree though.
