Project Standard 2002 on XP Home Edition?

[Roy MacLean]

The minimum requirements spec for Project Standard 2002
suggests that you can *not* run it on XP *Home Edition*
(i.e. you need XP Professional).

Is this really so? It seems that you can run it on W98,
etc.

Is there some other version of Project that will run on
XP/Home?

Thanks for your help, guys.

While I run my copy on XP Pro, I don't see any reason why it won't run
on XP Home, and I've not heard of any problems.

The OS's are identical except for add-on features in XP Pro which,
"suggested" at http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/whichxp.asp (I can't
find it now, but Microsoft used to have a web page which in a table
showed the differences ... now not clear to me where it is). If you can
benefit from the "add-ins" of XP Pro (independant of Project), then XP
Pro may be, as Microsoft says "better for you."
