That's up to the OS, not the software. And XP is multi-CPU friendly.



No it's not. An application needs to be multi-threaded at least to use
multiple processors. PhotoShop needs to split an intensive task up
into multiple threads for it to run faster on a multi-core system
(which it does). If PhotoShop wasn't threaded, or multi-processor
aware at some level, it wouldn't run any faster on a Quad Xeon than it
does an old single core G5, for example.

XP is only friendly for two cores. XP Pro, I think supports 4. You
need Vista or Server if you want to use two quads (8 core).

Anyway it has nothing at all to do with the OS.


XP and XP pro have the same support.

Nope, XP Home does only support one single core or processor while XP Pro supports two.
