Which OS should I get? XP Home or XP Pro? What is the difference between the two besides price?

Hi,

I just installed XP Pro on a former ME platform and it works great. Very stable. I have another computer running 2000 professional and that one is very stable as well. Now the former ME version was real bad. I had to restart the computer 2 - 3 times a day. I would say spent the extra $100 to get the XP pro version.

It has everything that XP has plus:

Greater security, including the ability to encrypt your files and folders, to protect your business data.
Premier mobile support for the ability to work offline or access your computer remotely.
Built-in support for high-performance multiprocessor systems.
Designed to work with Microsoft Windows Servers and management solutions.
Communicate efficiently with others around the world by working in any given language.

Hope this helps.

Also, XP pro doesn't require the activation stuff ;)

HOME only support one proc.
