There are two features missing from the Home version.
1) Maximum RAM is limited in Home to 4GB (I think, I may be wrong). However, you really don't need more than 4GB RAM even for gaming.
2) No Remote Desktop Server. Every copy of windows comes with the client, but not the server. This sucks for me (don't feel like craning my neck to look at my TV while setting up my HTPC), but I got VNC instead which works well enough.
EDIT: forgot the 3rd feature missing. Virtualization. I'm running 64-bit Windows 7 and I'm yet to run into a program that has had any issues, so you'd have to check out your legacy software to see if you need it.
