Why would you want to go back? The two versions are the same in their

I have a product which is not supported under Windows XP Pro. The
maker says XP Home and XP Pro are two different operating systems, and
he doesn't have enough market to produce it for anything but XP home
and Apple.


Sounds like that maker is either dishonest, or completely unfamiliar
with computers. The WinXP Home and WinXP Pro versions are _identical_
when it comes to performance, stability, and device driver and software
application compatibility, but are intended to meet different
functionality, networking, security, and ease-of-use needs, in different
environments.

Your whole statement is a oxymoron type.

are _identical_

but are intended to meet different
functionality, networking, security, and ease-of-use needs, in different
environments.

key words are _SECURITY and EASE-OF-USE.
