XP Home or Proffesional?

I currently have XP Home installed on my laptop, but I have Proffesional on disc(complimants of Devry). Is proffessional better or should I just leave it with home?

Unless you're going to be networking a very large number of PCs together, or you are going to run a PC with two CPUs in it, XP Home will serve you fine.

pro does have some features that make networking life easer.

A decision best made by each persons own needs.
