Whats the difference between Windows Xp Home and Professional? -

All i use my computer for is browsing, word processing and watching dvd s/tv. I am downgrading from Vista home basic and don t try to talk me out of it...windows 7 even if it comes out by christmas thats to long, and Home basic runs poorly on my computer despite 2 GB of ram

Mainly user networking and configuration option. If you re not planning on using it on a network and mananging users, home is the same OS. Goto: http://www.winsupersite.com/showcase/win...

First make sure you can get all the drivers for your hardware in XP version. If you can t, you won t be able to use the hardware you can t get the driver for. The main difference is that Pro can connect to a domain controller (an office network) - the Home version can only connect to a home network.

The difference is primarily the ability to join a domain. Here s a good link to read more: http://windowsitpro.com/article/articlei...

XP Pro has more options: mainly for networking.

well that s very good, you would only need xp home to do what you are doing now, XP Pro, has the computer remote access building in, while XP Home you have to down load it . XP pro come with alot of build in networking uses. but only if you are using it on a network. XP home can be use to create a local area network for home use,

The spelling... honestly i don t get the difference
