XP Pro can connect to a domain, certain administration tools are unlocked, network capabilities are also more powerful. If you don't understand any of the above details, you probably don't need it

Just use Google lah. Easy.

XP home will be sufficient and more than enough.
but already out of market.
now Vista rules

stick to XP home
you'll be happier to use it than vista
somemore, Windows 7 will come out in 2 years

And we find out by then Windows 7 blows more than Vista....

security update?

i thought both hav the security center.

Windows XP Professional is better

guys i got problem with my XP 64bits i have some issue when install the Alcohol program it say some internal error....

what is that?

Help help

that is what i taught of Home are for home use professional is for office and etc

finally i have solve that issue.... XP 64bits really have improve alot in the memory control....

Windows XP Pro got recovery console. Correct me if i'm wrong.

C'mon guys, we can't be spoon feeding you. When you've got Google by your side, why don't you just use it instead of wasting bandwidth? These are the items XP Pro has but XP Home doesn't:

Remote Desktop - All versions of Windows XP--including Home Edition--support Remote Assistance, which is an assisted support technology that allows a help desk or system administrator to remotely connect to a client desktop for troubleshooting purposes. But Only Pro supports the new Remote Desktop feature, which is a single-session version of Terminal Services with two obvious uses: Mobile professionals who need to remotely access their corporate desktop, and remote administration of clients on a network. You can access a Windows XP Remote Desktop from any OS that supports a Terminal Services client (such as Windows 98 and, interestingly XP Home). XP Home can act as the client in a Remote Desktop session; only Pro can be the server.

Multi-processor support - Windows XP Pro supports up to two microprocessors, while Home Edition supports only one.

Automated System Recovery (ASR) - In a somewhat controversial move, Microsoft has removed the Backup utility from the default Windows XP Home Edition, though it is available as an optional installation if you can find it on the CD-ROM (hint: it's in the /valueadd folder). The reason for this the integration of Microsoft's new Automated System Recovery (ASR) tool into Backup. In Pro, ASR will help recover a system from a catastrophic error, such as one that renders the system unbootable. ASR-enabled backups are triggerable from XP Setup, allowing you to return your system to its previous state, even if the hard drive dies and has to be replaced. Unlike consumer-oriented features such as System Restore, ASR is not automatic: It must manually be enabled from within the Backup utility in Windows XP Pro. In any event, while there is a Backup utility available for Home Edition, you cannot use ASR, even though mentions of this feature still exist in the UI. Confusing? Yes. But it's better than no Backup at all, which was the original plan.

Dynamic Disk Support - Windows XP Professional (like its Windows 2000 equivalent) supports dynamic disks, but Home Edition does not (instead, HE supports only the standard Simple Disk type). Dynamic disks are not usable with any OS other than Windows 2000 or Windows XP Pro, and they cannot be used on portable computers. Likewise, Home Edition does not include the Logical Disk Manager.

Fax - Home Edition has no integrated fax functionality out of the box, though it is an option you can install from the XP Home CD.

Internet Information Services/Personal Web Server - Home Edition does not include the IIS Web server 5.1 software found in Pro.

Encrypting File System - Windows XP Professional supports the Encrypting File System (EFS), which allows you encrypt individual files or folders for local security (EFS is not enabled over a network). EFS-protected files and folders allows users to protect sensitive documents from other users.

File-level access control - Any user with Administrator privileges can limit access to certain network resources, such as servers, directories, and files, using access control lists. Only Windows XP Professional supports file-level access control, mostly because this feature is typically implemented through Group Policy Objects, which are also not available in Home Edition.

"C2" certification - Microsoft will attempt to have Windows XP Professional certified with the "C2" security designation, a largely irrelevant status, but one which will not be afforded to Home Edition.

Domain membership - Home Edition cannot be used to logon to an Active Directory domain. For obvious reasons, the Domain Wizard is also missing in Home Edition.

Group Policy - Since Home Edition cannot be used to logon to an Active Directory domain, Group Policy--whereby applications, network resources, and operating systems are administered for domain users--is not supported either.

IntelliMirror - Microsoft lumps a wide range of semi-related change and configuration management technologies under the IntelliMirror umbrella, and none of these features are supported in the consumer oriented Home Edition. IntelliMirror capabilities include user data management; centrally-managed software installation, repair, updating, and removal; user settings management; and Remote Installation Services (RIS), which allows administrators to remotely install the OS on client systems.

Roaming profiles - This feature allows users to logon to any computer in an Active Directory network and automatically receive their customized settings. It is not available in Home Edition, which cannot logon to an Active Directory domain.

Multi-language support - Only Windows XP Professional will ship in a Multi-Language version or support multiple languages in a single install.

Sysprep support - Windows XP Pro will support the System Preparation (Sysprep) utility, while Home Edition will not.

RIS support - See the IntelliMirror heading in the previous section; Home Edition does not support RIS deployments.

The user interface for IPSecurity (IPSec)

SNMP

Simple TCP/IP services

SAP Agent

Client Service for NetWare

Network Monitor

Multiple Roaming feature

Client-side caching

Administrative Tools option on the Start menu (a subset of the Admin tools are still present in Home, however).
Got it from here, compiled and summarised by me.

XP home not for company use??? legal o not?

security and local security policies is enabled on xp pro...... n u can connect more coms on ur lan..... besides xp pros is for pros not noobs (no offense)

NICE!!!!

just use xp pro..with at least sp2/3.you will not be disappointed.

i think for him the xp home would be enough, he already said what he'll be using it for

My oh my. Even noobs can use Windows XP Pro. It just that Windows XP Pro contains lots of functionality that beginners didn't really use. Your reply IS offensive. By the way, your blog sucks (that article about Windows 7). Go dig around and update it

eh bro... i got da disc coz i'm a mcp (microsoft certified professional)... i took da test n i can show u da certificate...

Yeah, you got your MCP and you brag, no need to show me your cert, just save it for your nephews/cousins coming to your house. I don't have any MCP and I know how to use Windows XP Professional which you claim for pro, so? btw, if you're a certified pro, why your blog post about Windows 7 seems unprofessional? Picture and a short description about it, should've write something that explain it's use for those "n00b"...

Jeez , you're a MCP. However your style of writing doesn't prove it as pointed out by the forumer above me. I thought folks like yourself do get a copy from Microsoft itself. Nevertheless , I am not a MCP certified guy (and no I don't need your certificate either to prove it to me)

Windows XP Professional is just Windows 2000 Professional + Windows ME combined together where as XP Home is a stripped down version of 2000 + Me together. For a Home user , they don't need such functions , such as enrolling in a domain , managing policies , Remote Desktop and those Value Added Stuff which an average home user wouldn't be using.

However its useful in cooperate environment and it doesn't mean that Windows XP Professional is not for noobs . An average user can use it fine , its just that he wouldn't be bothered about touching such things. For your information (I am sure that you do know) that Windows XP Media Center Edition and Windows XP Tablet PC Edition (which is what i am using now for my UMPC , after downgrading from Vista. Please guys its a netbook and Vista is a overkill for it) that its just Windows XP Professional + addons.

Then M$ (sorry guys , I just hate Microsoft in general) came up with new Vista flavors , took it to a new level ! (Finally they realized that Home users that want a media center don't really need the advance stuff the which is found in XP Media Center Edition)

so... i dun speak british ma... anyway i post da highlights... havent elaborate yet

well if you dont like it, you dont have to read it right? no1 forcing you to read... and

and writing something that explain it's use for those "n00b", that wan i guess you can write out right? all of us can, we all started from n00bs

since he got "MCP" couldn't he wrote something more meaningful?

Well, I don't have my own blog and I already shared my experience in Windows 7 thread in LYN. Since we all start from n00bs, he shouldn't said that Windows XP Pro is for n00b in the first place. You got my point here?

Hey, "FarCry3r", you remember me? I used to post a lot here. Btw, what's with the flaming, leave the idiot if he can't write properly, he's just trying to waste our time.

Honestly speaking, I also feel quite insulted when I read your post even though you mentioned "NO OFFENSE".

see

Should "report" his post. Probably the mod who takes the "report" may also be insulted.

A mod that pay a visit previously also felt offended already...

What to do? Free and public forum, all we can do is advice these idiots on not to repeat their mistakes?

Edited for the sake of peace

No problem. Just don't repeat that mistake.

PS: Your forgiven from me, just ask "FarCry3r", whether your forgived.

I'm a peace people, but I do get offended sometimes, so forgiveness given lor

This thread is so much of ups and downs. Nevertheless, everything got solved.
