Windows 7 Pro vs. Windows 7 Home

I'm looking to update my 6 year old home desktop. Is there any advantage to purchasing Windows 7 Pro over Windows 7 Home (or Home Premium). I will never network this computer. My ISP is a cellular broadband wireless that is actually pretty slow (I am out in the country).

This will always be a stand alone computer.

I hate to spend the extra money for Windows 7 Pro if I will never need the added features.

Thanks in advance for the insights.

    Based on your situation, I can confidently say you will never need Pro's features.

    With what you stated I agree you will be fine with Windows 7 Home. Only added feature I use in Windows 7 Pro is the XP Mode. I have some applications that will not run under Vista or Window 7 so I use that feature.
