Exactly. The device isn't programmed anyway. It's configured. Piece of cake.

And by the way, I personally wouldn't call a "professional" if I wanted to set up a windows server 2003 infrastructure at my house either. I *might* read some articles on MSDN or other spots on the web. But that's hardly the only reason to run XP Pro. Even if you don't need to access a domain server from your home VPN, XP Home is crippled in various ways, not the least of which is the way it handles network file sharing.

XP Home cannot host terminal services, does not support dual processors, does not have a backup utility, no dynamic disks, no IIS, no web server, no IPSEC, no SNMP, no Simple TCP/IP services, no Netware Client, no Network Monitor, no roaming, etc, etc.

There's a lot of reasons to run XP Pro, and you dont need a professional to decide for you. It just takes experience or a simple search on the web.

The only person hi-jacking anything around here SOUND, is you by treating every new poster on this board as if they've done something wrong.
