XP Home and Personal Web Server

Another - apparently not well known - difference between XP Home and XP Professional is that the former does not come with a copy of Personal Web Server (PWS). It did come with Windows 98 and I understand that it does come with Home Professional. (Does anyone know if that is true?)

I am teaching myself to build websites and I cannot afford to build or buy a work bench, so PWS is important to me.

Does anyone know if there is a structural difference between XP Home and XP Pro that prohibits the use of the XP Pro verison of PWS with XP Home?

Does anyone know where I can get a copy of the XP Pro version of PWS?
