Greetings --

The two versions are identical when it comes to stability,
functionality, and device driver and software application
compatibility, but are intended to meet different networking,
security, and ease-of-use needs, in different environments. One
difference not usually mentioned is that WinXP Pro allows up to 10
simultaneous inbound network connections, while WinXP Home only allows
a maximum of 5.
