Can anyone tell me what the real differences are between xp home and xp pro?
I am considering upgrading to pro from home edition.

Thanks,

Jake

one major thing is that XP Home cant join MS Domains. other differences are
PRO has better GPO support (in mmc - managment console etc).
just read the links in the post before this one. HOME Edt. is a real
"homeuser" edition with fewer features for "professional users".
