the major difference is that you cannot join a domain in Home, otherwise for
the home user there is no visible difference.

If you're a home user, Home is very likely the one to get. The
two are actually identical in all respects, except that
Professional has a few features (mostly related to networking and
security) missing from Home. For most (but not all) home users,
these features aren't needed, would never be used, and buying
Professional instead of Home is a waste of money.

Buy Professional only if you need or want one or more of these
features.

You don't need Pro. I have HE SP1 working fine on my laptop with USB2.

Are you running SP1 yet? If not, do so. Make sure you download the full 130M
and do the upgrade locally. Do not try to do a web based SP1 install.

One more thing. I have always and still do like the model
Apple computer has with their operating system OSX. For
the price of $129.00 every Mac user gets the same
operating system with the same capabilities in Mac OSX.
No Home version or Pro version. Just OSX!. So unlike
Windows users who will sometimes wish they had Pro over
Home. In the Mac world this is not an issue!. Everyone
get's the same thing, even if they do not use all the
features. If MS came out with just a Windows XP at
$129.00 I'm sure alot of people would have still
upgraded. MS makes enough money off their Office suite,
and having Windows XP (Single Version) wouldn't have
broken their bank. God forbid if the bigwigs at MS have
to live like all the rest of us for a while. To me Mac
OSX is far superior in every respect to Windows XP Home
edition. Windows XP Pro would be more similar feature
wise. When I sit down at the computer and watch a
MacWorld and see all the great new features being added
to Mac OSX, I sit back and wish my only one computer with
Windows XP Home Edition was just as powerful and feature
rich as Mac OSX. Now you know why I hate Home Editions!.
For everyone!. Next time I will do things differently!.
Computers are a hobby of mine!.

Hmmm.. Lets see. Defeat in detail is *so* much fun. ;-)
By the way, do read the question carefully.

1) NTBack can be installed from a retail CD. ASR is also included as a
result.

2) IIS. Ask your mother why she needs to run a server. Ask 10 people on the
street why the need to run a server for that matter.

3) SMP. Care to take a wild guess at the number of games that leverage SMP?
Care to extend that number to applications. SMP is overrated and highly
misunderstood by 99% of those who belabor it's loss. Explain how SMP makes
Word run faster. Explain how SMP makes any single threaded application run
faster.

4) Domains. I was waiting for this one. ;-) HE can function on a domain in
work station mode. Fact of the matter is, I've used HE on a domain to
trouble shoot network configuration issues. I refuse to allow a 3rd party to
push policies on my machine. Why do you really think it necessary to join a
dorm domain?

5) If computers are your hobby, learn more. You still haven't addressed why
Pro is "superior". You have belabored a couple of issues that you do need to
learn more about, but that's what this forum is for.

Take another stab and I'll rephrase the question to put it in context. And
to put a couple of things in context.

1) Why does your mother need EFS?
2) Why does your uncle need SMP? For that matter, what makes SMP so
"superior" in a single user environment when over 99% of the software on the
market doesn't leverage SMP?
3) Did you know that NTBackup can be installed on HE?
4) Why do you want some one to push policies on your personal machine just
so you can browse a LAN, the 'net or print? Or did you know that you can do
these things on a domain with a workstation?
5) Ask 10 people off the street what IIS is. Ask then as well what Apache
is. While at it, ask them what they'd do with either.
6) Why not take the time to actually learn what is possible?

Computers may be your hobby, but they're my business.

Then why does ASR not work properly with Windows XP Home
Edition after it is installed NT backup from the retail
cd. Since Microsoft even says that ASR is not supported
in the Home Edition. Please read this link from

Hmm ASR (Automated System Recovery)

One of the hardest lessons to learn for many computer
users, myself included, is the importance of good
backups. Maybe in the future, computer media will be so
dependable that we won't have to worry about losing data,
but at least for the foreseeable future, an entire
lifetime worth of data can be lost in the blink of an eye
(or the electrical power). For that reason, one of the
first backup procedures that Windows XP Professional
users should become familiar with is the Automated System
Recovery. This is a process that is similar to (but that
goes way beyond) the Emergency Repair Disk from earlier
versions of Windows NT/2000.
One of the very first things that you should do with your
Windows XP computer is to use the Automated System
Recovery Wizard to create a backup of your system. This
backup will be made of of two parts: a backup file, and a
Recovery Disk. The backup file will be quite large, and
the Recovery Disk will be a floppy. Here are the steps
to complete the process:
Click Start -> All Programs -> Accessories -> System
Tools -> Backup.
When the Backup or Restore Wizard starts, click on
Advanced Mode.
On the Welcome tab, click the button at the bottom next
to Automated System Recovery Wizard.
This will start the Wizard, which will prompt you for the
media to use for the backup file, after clicking Next.
If you have a tape drive installed, this file can go
there, but you can also write this file to a hard drive.
This is the fastest method, but it also requires lots of
free space. A writeable CD will work, if the CDRW
software allows it to be access via a drive letter.
After entering the destination for the backup file, click
Next again, and then Finish.
The Windows XP Backup utility will copy all of the
important system files and settings to the backup file.
An estimate and status bar is provided, as this step can
take a considerable amount of time. After this step is
complete, you will be prompted for a blank, formatted
floppy disk. Several files are written to the disk, and
then the process is complete.
This is the first step in a good backup and recovery
program. At this point, you should be able to recover
your system and its settings to their current state, even
if you had a catastrophic problem (for instance, the hard
drive completely failed and had to be replaced). This
process does not backup other data or files (for
instance, Word documents that you have stored in a folder
on the hard drive).
If you have Windows XP Home Edition, you will notice when
trying to follow the steps above that there is no Backup
Utility! So what should you do to protect your computer
system against problems? The next page shows the first
step that you will need to perform. Recoverability in
Windows XP Home
Microsoft, in an attempt to protect you from yourself,
did not include the same Backup and Restore utility in
Windows XP Home Edition as we find in Windows XP
Professional Edition. To help protect your system using
Windows XP Home, you can use the System Restore Utility
to create what is called a "Restore Point." A Restore
Point, ideally, is a point at which your computer starts
and runs without any errors or problems. If your XP Home
computer is in such a condition right now, you should
follow these steps to create a new Restore Point. XP
automatically creates a Restore Point immediately after
installing Windows XP Home. I will often create one as
well as before each change to the system. For instance,
if I am about to install a new application, I would first
create a Restore Point, and name it "Before Application
X" so that if it turns out the new application causes me
problems, I can restore my system to the way it was
before.
To create a new System Restore Point in Windows XP Home
Edition, click Start -> All Programs -> Accessories ->
System Tools -> System Restore. When the System Restore
Utility opens, click "Create a Restore Point" then click
Next. Enter a name for this Restore Point (for
instance, "Before Installing Office XP"), and click
Create. The utility will then take a snapshot of your
system so that you can restore to that point sometime in
the future.
Windows XP automatically creates a Restore Point when any
of the following occurs:
An unsigned device driver is installed
A new application is installed (if the installation
program is compatible with System Restore
Windows Update is used to update your system
A Restore Point from earlier is restored
A backup using the Backup Utility is restored.
Wait...using the Backup Utility, you say - what Backup
Utility?!?
If you have Microsoft Windows XP Professional Edition,
you will easily be able to find the Backup Utility by
clicking Start -> All Programs -> Accessories -> System
Tools -> Backup. However, if you are using Windows XP
Home Edition, your search for a backup utility under
System Tools will be fruitless. Although Microsoft
originally planned to include the Backup Utility in the
Home Edition as well as the Professional Edition, they
removed it, for reasons known to themselves, from the
final version that you can buy today.
This may be a frustrating development for many!. Hidden
deep in the recesses of the Windows XP Home Edition CD
lies the actual installation program that you need to put
the Backup Utility on your computer. Simply insert the
XP CD, and run NTBACKUP.MSI (it might look like
just "Ntbackup") program from the folder
D:\Valueadd\msft\ntbackup where D: is the letter of your
CD drive. This will launch the Windows Backup Utility
Installation Wizard, which will install the utility
automatically. When it is finished, click "Finish."
It's that easy!
Now you can click Start -> All Programs -> Accessories ->
System Tools -> Backup, and the Backup Utility will
start. One of the things that you may note is the
presence of the Automated System Recovery Wizard. While
you can try to use this Wizard with the Home Edition of
XP, the results can be unpredictable, and the disks
created with this Wizard in XP Home are unreliable!.
Therefore the NT Backup utility really doesn't work well
with Windows XP Home Edition. Microsoft notes and
acknowledges this in KB Article Q302700.

Most computers built today even, home built PC's like my
own all include a floppy. Exceptions, Macs. Sure Ma and
Pa, or Uncle may never use IIS, but people sitting at
home who are learning how to develop websites or run a
small website, would benifit with a basic IIS webserver,
especially, college students learning computing for a
career. Read this link
http://www.ucs.ed.ac.uk/usd/scisup/faq/homevspro.html
My sisters n law's brother's son who is about 18 is
managing websites, and beta testing software already at
home. His father who is a computer hardware tech has been
teaching him to prepare him for college. Learning HTML
without a book. Windows XP Pro gives users of all kinds
additional features, and as you read from the link above.
If a student has already got Windows XP Home pre-
installed on their system, they will now have to fork out
additional money for the Pro edition. Better if they had
had it from the start.

And from what I have seen fome Microsoft, there to greedy
to allow both home users and professionals from having
the same package, so they take items out from one version
so they can sell the same product for a cheaper price.
Instaed of lowering the price of Windows XP Pro and doing
away with Home editions. Their is no Mac OSX Home
edition!. And it is still cheaper than Pro!. I can
understand Office XP Standard,Pro,Small Business, etc..
Just additional software added or removed from package.
But with Windows XP it's features, and functionality.
Look at todays Circuit City and BestBuy adds. Their
running back to school adds. And what's on sale!?.
Windows XP Pro, not Home!. Because students benifit more
from Pro!.

Nope. Still evading the question and ignoring certain "facts" of life. See
http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/hwdev/archive/default.mspx for a description
of where things are headed.

Again. I have legacy reduced system that has no floppy. How does ASR work
and what does it do for me?

Just to be unfair and expand a bit, without slighting a vendor, name a
single instance where *any* Mac OS was capable or running a loosely coupled
sysplex.

As for "lack of features on HE" I could give you a mini-lecture but I won't.
Fact of the matter is that I have real life experience sitting in front of
me. My laptop, which I use for business and application development for
businesses is running HE. That is sitting right next to my Pro desktop
machine running as my "LAN server". Take a wild guess as to which machine
any of my posts originate from. and on which I do the majority of my
development work. As an aside, I "only" have MSDE installed on the laptop
and SQL Sever installed on my desktop. And while at it, take a wild guess at
why I use HE on my laptop to diagnose domain networking issues.

Again, don't believe what other say. Believe what's in front of your eyes.

And nice dodge on the rest of the questions. You missed the point rather
grossly. I was serious about actually *asking* people. Back away from the
keyboard and go talk to human beings. These are what I support
professionally as well as on these boards.

BTW: You do know what Apache is don't you?

Regardless, hit the streets and ask the questions of random people. You'll
be amazed at the answers you get.

DUDE!!!!!

Get a grip. ;-)

You're grasping. And that's not a good thing.

FYI: I can think of some legitimate criticisms for the differences between
HE and Pro. Complaining because it isn't Mac isn't going to go far.

Ok ASR will not work for you because you don't own a
floppy!. And nice Windows Hardware and Driver page. I
thought it would have been about Longhorn!. MS's up and
coming operating system. I like how alot of observers
asre seeing how Microsoft is trying to mimmick Apple's
Quartz Extreme, with Longhorns fancy graphics. I'm no
professional, but does ILM, Pixar, and other special
effects companies seem to prefer Linux and Mac OSX over
Windows XP.

Actually with my home system. I have two harddrives. A
120GB and 60GB. And I dualboot with Windows XP Home
Edition (120GB)/ SuSE 8.2 (Professional)(60GB). I chose
SuSE 8.2 Pro mainly because it had more applications and
you can't resist a $89.95 price tag for a professional
Linux operating system. Which is more powerful than Home
or Professional XP. I can read a Windows partition with
SuSE 8.2, but Windows XP Home or Pro for that matter
cannot read my Linux partition. I bought Linux to learn!.
If I got the same type of applications that I got with
SuSE, but for Windows XP. It would have cost me
thousands!. Why are some companies looking at Linux,
because it is cheaper, and in some ways does a better job
at certain things then Windows XP or Mac OSX. And between
the two I still feel Linux is more stable. Windows XP has
crashed on me more. But as far as applications go. Yes
Windows XP is more rich!.
