Windows XP Professional gives you all the benefits of Windows XP Home Edition, plus additional remote access, security, performance, manageability and multi-lingual features that make it the operating system of choice for businesses of all sizes and people who demand the most out of their computing experience.

XP Pro has IIS webserver, FTP server, and some advanced tools for IT. Also a very important point but not for you as you use your computer at home; XP Home can't joing a Domain Network.

I use a pirated version, but if I had to buy one, I would get the Home Edition as the features differences are so low and the price matters. And I dont use MS IIS, Apache rules.

Price? 100 dollars cheaper ($99 for the Home upgrade edition vs. $199 for the Pro upgrade)...(for the full editions home is $199 and pro is $299)

[tadus]

Hey, me, it like 260$ for pro and 100$ home here

[Trippekdick]

bay pro it´s better

Hey guys thanks sooo much for your feedback i really appreciate this !
I been using PRO for about 2-3 years but now thinking about buying a REAL Original Copy . So if XP HOME is about 100buks difference and i can work with it i will go for that .
I am trying to save a bit cause my whole new system is now over 2K not including my office furniture as well i am getting .....
Now with the $$ I save for Home Version I can buy a really nice CASE for my computer as well : )

Thanks again guys
hi loverboy !

Seems strange someone would admit to using pirated software with their full information available on a message board.

But that's just me I guess. Friends make fun of me for actually having bought all the software I use.

Save the $$$, buy Home edition.

My friends use to come over a borrow my CD's .

I don't think I'd post on a board that I was using pirated software.

I just checked the microsoft website and Bill Gates has an APB out for "webgurl".

Run webgurl, run!!!!!

[tadus]

I had not installed myself, when I buy it, It was already there, and I found that a lot of serial on the net are the same, so I guess mine was a pirated version. But myself I had a original copy also but I never installed it on my second computer. It was just a sugggestion because price matter on this topic I guess.

[PeeFee]

I recommend to wait 4-5 months and then buy XP Reloaded
It'll be released quite soon.

[CamChicks]

one difference is that only PRO supports true dual processors.

hehehe , funny i didn't mention anything about having a knock off copy in this thread but i see other do in here ....
but realistically who cares , whats going to happen? Like 75% of the people in here most likely don't have the "real" version anyways

[tadus]

I agree.
hey why not wait for the next OS

You're skimping on the OS so you can use the money to buy a nicer case?!?

No more paying for shitty software, and you can buy as nice a case as you want.

nope , I just don't know if its absolutley necessary for me to get that version . If you read the topic clear . I was not sure if I really need to buy the XP PRO if I don't need the extra features , the case is added bonus for me if i don't need to buy Pro ... has nothing to do with the case vs O/S

Ya let her have what she want, that it.
