For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.Just stick to the Home edition as you're unlikely to need things like IIS. If you managed on Win98 then any version of Windows since then will be an improvement.
Obviously if you have the chance of either Home or Pro at the same price, I'd choose Pro.
If you only have Win98 on your machine at the moment, it suggests it may not be a new one. Some computers, their peripheral equipment (printers, scanners etc) and software may not work with WinXP. Use Microsoft's Upgrade Advisor tool to check.
