I agree. Our license extends to home use for training purposes. As
consultants we rarely get any other form of training. Our PC's are all
XP Home and none of us would have any need to upgrade except for SAS
forcing us to.
Having said that, the base product and everything else I've tried works
fine under XP Home. But since I need to learn about metadata server and
such, I may be heading towards having to upgrade -- about $400 out here
and XP Home came with the PC.
Cheers
Don
