Thread: XP home or pro?

  1. #1

    Default XP home or pro?

    Several times now I've heared that the xp pro wasn't as stable as xp home and thus not as good a choice for a small home user.

    Is there truth in this claim?

    No truth at all. Go for XP Pro if you can.

    There are no stability issues with Pro as far as I'm aware, but there aren't a lot of gains either. If there is no or little price difference go with Pro, but you're unlikely to miss any features if you end up with Home.

    If you're going to be networking at all then go with Pro.

    I would find it very hard to justify going with Home. Pro all the way.

    If you have an home LAN, multiple PCs in the house, or anything requiring computer to computer comms, Pro is the way to go.
