XP Pro vs. XP Home

[Robert M. Lincoln]

What are some of the things you can do in Pro that you can't do in Home
Edition?

Thanks.

1) You can join a domain at work
2) You can use a file sharing setup that requires each user to have
their own account and account permissions instead of everyone having the
same network access
3) You can set permissions on NTFS in great detail
4) You can apply security templates
5) You can have five more folks accessing your computer via the network
6) You can have Power Users and many other sorts of user groups, not
just limited and super-powerful
7) You can pay up to $100 more

You also have remote desktop in xp pro and unlimited workgroup computers.
I also think there is a basic Application server to set up a web / intranet
/ ftp server. Correct me if im wrong.

The two are identical, except that Professional has a few
features (mostly related to networking and security) missing from
Home. For most (but not all) home users,
these extra features are unnecessary, and never used. If you're a
home user, Home is *probably* adequate for you and Professional
is a waste of money, but to be sure, go to
