WinXP Home vs. Pro
 

I've used both - albeit Pro very briefly.

Superficial ones aside, what are the differences between these two?

I know Pro has a remote desktop function that Home doesn't support.
I've heard mention Pro supports multi-processor, Home doesn't.

I have a P4 with Hyperthreading. Would I notice any difference under Pro?

Thanks,
Chris

Probably not. For a 'family' PC, I can't see spending the extra. But read
this web page and decide for yourself:

XP Home can not be bound into a domain. That's what
makes it almost unusable for a company environment.
Apart from that, there is no big difference.
