Will XP/Home support a pws?

[Guest]

I'm used to using Win 98 with PWS to develop and test web material. Santa brought a new laptop for Xmas with XP/Hkome OS and I find out there is no PWS (XP/Professional is able to support IIS 6.0 with a pws but how about Home edition?) Can I download IIS 6.0 (easily) from MS.com or elsewhere (can't find it while navigating the knowledge base) or do I have to upgrade to 'Professional" in order to take advantage of a pws. Could just go to open source I suppose but that's another matter.....

If you don't need FrontPage Extensions you can use Apache
(www.apache.org).... if you want FPSE, then you're going to have to think
about upgrading to XP Pro.

FYI - XP Pro supports IIS 5.1, only Win2k3 server supports IIS 6.0.
