Hi Chris,
They are the same internal engine, it's just that XP SP2 Home is missing
some policy editors commonly only used in a corporate environment. The core
operating system is the same. Differences:
- WinXP Pro will allow 10 inbound connections, Home only 5
- Pro has policy editors (useful in a corporate environment)
- Pro has IIS (useful if you build server apps)
- Pro can become part of a domain (another corporate use)
- Both use simple file sharing by default, but it can only be disabled in
Pro
- Firewall and file security between users is the same
- Encrypted file system is only available in Pro
If you need any of the benefits of a Pro system, then go with it. Otherwise,
most home users are happy with XP Home.
