It does for me! - Art has a Windows 2000/XP version - BUT some harware
combinations just won't work. I don't have any specifics, just happens
to work on my hardware combo.

His new version should be out shortly, which is intended to have
better XP support.

I know he lurks here occassionally and perhaps he'll jump in and
explain more...

As for one of the original questions about the differences in XP home
or Pro...

The main differences are to do with networking, Home cannot be used on
a Windows domain - it only supports simple file sharing and as such is
basically useless in an office environment. Both XP pro and home are
extremely buggy in the networking department - especially when
connecting to Win98 machines. That "may" be fixed with SP1 due out
within 90 days or so (but don't hold yer breath ;).
