From my limited experience in server/client business environments, you would want
XP Pro, the reasons I can think of are: XP Pro can join a domain and also has Group
policy editor, I don't think XP Home does..

Hi Mark, thanx for your reply.
Well i've just set up the idea here is:
Network A:
1. Server 2003 standard and SQL 2005
2. 11 client with xp pro and office pro
Network B:
1. Server 2003 standard and SQL 2005
2. 13 Client with xp pro and office pro
sum all the cost and this is the number : $17232.77 %(
Windows Server Standard 03= 2 * $652
Windows Server CAL =24 * $29.3
SQL Server 05=2 * $832
SQL Server CAL=24 * $153
Windows XP Pro=24 * $130
Office 2007 Pro=24 * $281
====================================

lol here at work, we used to have nt4, then we got new computers and changed to xp
pro. i would also look at the programs on the client computers you'll be running
for the business. i say if you can get a deal, go for it, but make sure the software
won't have update problems with the os.

MySql can run freely on ANY platform, I have it running now with PHP in this Win2K
box. There are different versions. MySql community server costs nothing but there
is work and learning and time that does. Depends on your project, and what your
time is worth. MySQL Enterprise is more user friendly and includes technical assistance
that the free product doesn't, and is priced accordingly.
