XP Home vs. Pro vs. Embedded

[Richard Miller]

Thanks for the info (and to everyone else who has emailed on this so

Question: how do you deal with all the various pieces of software  
that seem to be running on XP Home when one first gets it? Do you try  
to strip the system of extraneous components or just let it all be?
