AFAIK the main difference between Home and Professional, is that Professional supports dual CPU m/boards, and it has extra networking capabilities. Personally I'll be getting the Home edition as the Pro ver doesn't offer me anything that I require.
Win XP is definately the future for audio PC's. All the major players either already have, or soon will have XP compliant programs available. I use Logic Audio which is only a week or 2 away from the next version (v5), this is the first version that will officially run on XP.
If you buy XP you won't be wasting money......BUT......you may have to be a bit patient untill both your programs & hardware is fully supported in XP.

XP home is fine for most; Pro adds very little for the musician with the main thing being dual processor support, more networking features, and the integrated Internet Information Services...
98/ME are still better in many ways, but in another couple months XP will be standard even in niche markets like music.
