Exclamation Win XP

What is the difference between XP Home and XP Professional? Which one is better for some one who will use it for games and home use?

XP Pro gives you more sharing/security options, and you can run dual processors with XP Pro. If you don't have dual processors and don't care too much about network sharing, then home is fine.
