Hi,

I've been told that XP Home is based on Windows ME (and as such is not
very good), whereas XP Pro is based on Windows NT and is much better
in terms of stability etc.

However, I was under the impression that XP Home was just a cut down
version of XP Pro with less features. I also assumed that it was a bit
of an attempt by Microsoft to position each prodcut in the market.

Anybody got any comments on this?

Other replies prior to this one are correct and you will often notice when
you go to download XP driver upgrades for 3rd. party programs, you will see
the option is 2000/XP.
FWIW, I originally ran '98 (1st. release), upgraded it to ME (full version),
then later to XP Pro (also full version) and have never had any problems.
