As above, what are the main differences? Ive just bought a Sony Vaio with XP Home pre-installed but have the software at work to stick XP Pro on it. Baring in mind the laptop wont be networked (well perhaps occasionally connect it to my router to transfer files from my home PC) is it worth my while upgrading? What am i missing out on if I dont?

Cheers
Chris

 

few little features such as remote desktop

the control panel has more features.

if it really is for home, i'd stick with home edition

 

You carnt have domains on xp home.

 

Pro mostly has a few extra networking features

 

what ben says, the only actualy core difference, is the support for domain logins. XP home is fine for... wait for it... home users
