qfe. if you dont know why need something other than home, then you need home.Kmarion wrote:
To most users there is no difference between running XP Home and XP Pro. Since SP 2 the differences became even less. Pro contains more administrative tools but the functionality difference between the two is minimal.

Well, XP Office is the MS Office suite, with Word, Powerpoint, Outlook etc. Atleast I have never heard of an operating system called office. And, if you get an OEM version of XP Home, it runs with minimal background processes, which in my opinion is great.Des.Kmal wrote:

home does support all dual core processorsvjs wrote:
Mostly the number of processor supported. Try a google search, you'll get better information there than anywhere else.
Personally
Home - useless since it doesn't support 2 processors not sure if supports dual core AMD either
Yeps, it just doesn't support multiple physical processors (MCP?), MMC, Domains, or basically anything 'corporate'jaymz9350 wrote:

Office is a program, but there is XP Corporate, where I work were lucky to have our own custom built version of XP... Which is niceDes.Kmal wrote:

Just need a comfirmation. Do dual cores like the C2D E6600 work with home edition?Cheez wrote:

No, there is no XP Corporate. The "Corporate" version is XP Professional it just doesn't require you to activate it. And, your custom version, is something that your company developed using the tools MS makes available to everyone - nothing special about it. BTW: The easiest way to make your own custom installatiion disk of Windows (i.e. service packs & hotfixes integrated, your special twaeks already installed, and much more) is by using nLite (www.nliteos.com).SkoobyDu wrote:
