I have been researching this issue since I am considering getting a new home machine and wondered about this issue also. As Jayesh indicated, IIS does not come with XP Home, cannot be loaded onto it and there is no PWS ( currently ) for XP Home.
However, I have not done this since I do not have the system yet, but it is my understanding that you can download Web Matrix, which includes its own web server, to use for web development for ASP.NET on XP Home. Perhaps others that have tried this can jump in and verify or refute this possibility.

>I want buy a new computer for my HOME in the nexts weeks. For the money factor, i like to buy them with XP Home, anyway is only for my home. But i need to know if exist some problem with VS.NET & XP Home. .My main concern is about IIS ¿this is bundle with home? (because i use VS.NET for ASP, my main dev tools for now are Delphi & VFP)
