Tell that to my uncle who barely knows how to turn on his PC, who bought Windows Xp Pro to upgrade from Xp Home all because his mates told him it was worth doing. I didn't think it worth the aggravation to tell him there is no difference for a user like him.

I'm just waiting for the queue of phone calls from friends and family asking me for help installing Win7 on their perfectly working Vista PC's just because they've been told its 100x better.
