XP Home vs. XP Pro

What are the main differences and which is better for the average user? How about for photos and digital video? Does one have an advantage over the other? Is one harder to use than the other? Thanks

XP Pro is dual processor capable and has some advanced networking features (i am not sure exactly what)


EDIT: there is a nice article here that explains it very well

Good stuff. It answered all my questions but popped one up.

XP Pro indicates it has Taskkill. Does that not mean if I buy XP Home I will not get a task end option that W2K currently provides me for ending background programs?
