XP vs. XP pro
Looking for some comments on the virtues of running XP Pro vs XP home. In the past I just considered Pro to be a more expensive version of XP with features I didn't care about.
But I am now currently trying to install/configure SQL server and Visual Developer for ASP.net. For learning reasons and a possible project. It is not easy to control the services that need to get started or stopped in Home. So I may want to pick up a copy of Pro If I can find at a reasonable price. To do an upgrade from Home to Pro. Which is most likely a reinstall. So those that have used both, give me some comments..... Last edited by systempat; 09-23-2009 at 08:22 PM. Reason: clarify |

If you're using services and servers and are developing for the platform then you would definitely be better off with Pro. Home is really a cripple-ware of Pro .. and while you can still do most of the things, Pro is just a lot more efficient and complete.
For a lot of features .. like permissions etc .. you could still handle it thru the safe mode in Home. |
