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.

Both XP Home and Professional are available in an Upgrade
version. Among the operating systems they will upgrade is Windows
98SE.

When it's ready. There is no definite date yet, only rumors.
Although there is a code name, the name it will be called when
available for sale also has not yet been announced.
