I've been forced to use an XP Home machine in a peer-to-peer network and I've been
able to see as many users as I needed (at least 30). For the 98se machines to get
any shared resource from the XP machine, you'll have to create users on the XP machine
for them to be able to access it.
As far as difference with Pro and Home, Home can't log into a domain, Home doesn't
have passwords for shares, and Home doesn't have the variety of choices for user
types that Pro does.
