I know the feeling! My Dell 8100 came with XP Home, it now has 2000pro.
Something is wrong that we are forced to buy copies of Home OS when we already own licenses for OS we actually want to use.
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
