I think Windows XP Professional is way better because of it features and there is some stuff that Home has an Pro doesnt.

I have home but I really wouldn't care which I got. Both look nice, both are compatible with the majority of games/programs, both have obvious exploits and both are overpriced

Lies. I have an authentic copy, and I'm sure a good amount of the people here do, as well.

I honestly haven't found much difference between the two besides the splash screen (which is the same for both after installed SP2, so whatever tongue.gif)

I have Home installed on one computer, and Professional on the other so i can use either tongue.gif

To be honest though, there arent really that many important differences between the two.

I have a warez copy, BUT it's because Staples didn't give me a serial key dry.gif


EDIT: And I really didn't notice much of a difference.

I have Home, and have never tried Professional. Is Professional still good for practical home use? I got the impression that it was more for businesses.
