It's XP Pro.  Back in the day, I bought a "partner" package for $400
from Microsoft because it gave me a bunch of licenses for XP, Office
2007 and, in fact, all Microsoft products including the various server
products.  The reason I have the XP virtual machine is so I can use the
Office stuff when necessary and to be able to test websites with
Inertnet Explorer.
