I don't recall seeing Home/Pro information on the boot splash screen since

Re: Why did "Home" and "Professional" get removed?
It was noticed and thoroughly commented on when SP2 came out. It is old news
now.

How many users of Professional would waste their time with a dual- or multi-boot config that included the Home version? If you had Pro, why would you also have a crippled version (Home)? If you use Pro at work and Home at home, you already know by physical location which version you are using and aren't expecting some confirmation in a boot screen. Not everyone using Windows XP cares for the Fisher-Price boob UI and configures XP to get rid of it. In the standard login screen (i.e., when not using the Fisher-Price Welcome screen), it does say "Professional". Don't know about the Home version since I don't waste my time with it.
