Thanks Doug. It was my fault for not knowing about the lack of a PWS with XP
Home. On the other hand you would expect an "upgrade" to add features, not subtract them. So it is a bit of a trap. Must have been many thousands of people who got caught like me, and now have to pay the price. I just checked the microsoft site, and see no indication that there is a rebate on XP Pro upgrade for Home users. -- Sam "Doug Knox MS-MVP" wrote in message ... The cheapest source of XP Pro is the upgrade. There may be rebates available for people upgrading from XP Home. -- Doug Knox, MS-MVP Windows XP/ Windows Smart Display Win 95/98/Me/XP Tweaks and Fixes http://www.dougknox.com -------------------------------- Associate Expert ExpertZone - http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/expertzone -------------------------------- Please reply only to the newsgroup so all may benefit. Unsolicited e-mail is not answered. "Sam Bryan" wrote in message ... Rececent posts suggested using xitami or apache to provide PWS capability. Do they support FrontPage 2002 extensions? I have XP Home. If I upgrade to XP Pro, is there a Microsoft package that can do this that is cheaper than the XP Pro upgrade (which does a more major upgrade from OS's win98, win ME, etc.) ? Cheapest source for XP Pro upgrade? Many thanks -- Sam |
