In a few words or less, what is the big difference between XP Home and
Pro?
I have to actually buy a MS product for my business, but it won't get
much of a workout.

I tried a few other forums on usenet, but, whoa, is it ever nice and
quiet in here....<G>

We use computers that came with XP home, XP pro and XP Media center..
AFAICT, home is just that but because of the target market, it's "easier" to
view and send photos, etc..
pro is my preference so far.. Seems a bit faster on networks then Home and seems
to be the more "tweekable" of the 3..
media is sort of self-describing.. a lot of built-in stuff for sound, movies,
etc..
They're all pretty much the same and I'd recommend any of them... I would NOT
recommend mixing them on a network, though...
We have the 3, as I said above, because different computers came with different
OS... Pro seems to be able to talk to all the others but xp has to be nagged
into file sharing and protects it's Program Files folder like it was valuable or
something..

I only know 3 people with Vista so far.. I loves it and the other 2 hate it..
The one that loves it is new to computers so ya never know..lol
