I didn't have a multi-core system until Vista64 (and now Win7-x64), and at work all the multi-core machines were server OS so they worked fine. As for XP, I only know what I read and that was all flavours would work with multi-core but only XP-Pro was actually able to take advantage of multi-core with the few apps which were multi-core aware.
