The real difference is the bit locker encryption and the other security
features. Just because i don't know them all off the top of my head does NOT mean i cant use them or know the differences between the 2 editions of windows 8. I know allot of you idiots settle for the basic home versions of windows because it's what comes with youre computers. I build mine or by a store bought one and customize it to MY SPECS. NOT what you think my self or others should settle for. "Nil" wrote in message ...

I never settle for anything but pro versions of what ever software i get. Just because the box says "Pro" on it doesn't make you a pro. Especially when you don't know the real difference. |

And lastly why does someone have to prove to you posters why he or she wants
a better version of windows 8 or whatever version they have? One of the things that annoys my self and others you cant just answer a question someone posts and keep the rest of youre likes dislikes ect to youre self. "Nil" wrote in message ...

Why settle for the basic version of windows whatever version you have at the
time when for a few dollars more you can have it all in the professional or elite versions. Does someone having the best version of windows bother you sure seems it. "Nil" wrote in message ...

You don't even know what you want Nimrod. Apparently you think
buying "pro" confers superpowers to your shallow minded life.

Exactly how does the more bloated OS package become the "best".
If "best" is whta you want, you should get Enterprise, not Pro. Then you cound enjoy even more bloat.

Define "better version". You can't and there's no basis that "Pro"
is "better" than "Home" and particulalry for you as you seem to lack any understanding of how you might benefit w/"Pro". Because it's named "Pro" means nothing. Because it is more expensive means nothing. Gee Einstein, maybe what you really want is npt "Pro" but "Enterprise". After all... why settle for 2nd best? And of course Windows 10 SuperPro Deluxe is even better since it has a higher version number.
