    Xp Home and Pro Question

    I was just reading a post from ziroi about XP Pro and Home. I never really new what the diffrence is between them both, I know pro has a few extras on it, and one is 32 bit and 64 bit, but this is just a Question on my half, from what I have learnd from comming to sysopt and reading most of the posts I dont think there is, maybe there is, would some one maybe explain to me what the diffrence is, as I get the Question alot from people who ask me to build systems for them, they either hear from people telling them Pro is better blah blah Etc, so if someone could maybe tell me what the diffrence is so I can tell them the right answer, and not just shrug my shoulders, there starting to get a lil sore na i dont shrug but anyways thanks alot

    Home and Pro are exactly the same except:

    1. Home cannot join a domain

    2. Home doesn't support 2 CPUs.

    3. Home does not have enterprise-level control or security features.

    4. Home doesn't support remote desktop control.

    All other differences are insignificant.

    What ever gave you the idea that Pro supported 64 bit anything? It doesn't.

    Oh - there is a 64-bit version of Pro, but the vanilla version doesn't support 64-bit processing.
