Windows XP, home, work, wtf?

Ok, I have a serious question I keep seeing XP home, XP -insert- edition and all these special packages like SP2 and etc... What is the best for say, a gamer such as myself? I want to know cause I never ever used XP and I know there is more then one edition. Anyone care to enlighten me?

And if I am wrong that there is not more then one edition then I apoligize.

Russ, what do you mean by 'domain?'

And yes, I know many games that require only XP or 2000 which kicks me in the balls all the time since I have ME.

I think I may just go home edition to keep it simple.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Oh, well I don't need a 'domain' or anything like that. Looks like home it is then. Thanks for the help.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

I'm buying it when I go to purchase my new comp from tigerdirect. :X

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?
