    It all depends on what you want to do. If you are a bussiness professional, or are running Windows in a corporate or enterprise environment, Pro is the way to go---it's more robust and secure. Home edition is practically identical to Pro, except it lacks some security features and tools--perfect for the home user who only wants to surf the web and play.

    The Profestional version is extra safeguard. i imagine they offer extra constructive protection for those over the community and different issues (i'm no longer certain what they're yet they make XP extra safeguard) and maximum agencies use them for those causes. SP2 is service %. 2. that is an replace to homestead windows to make it extra safeguard. First got here Xp then SP1 and SP2 observed. Now, if you're informal person - like maximum folk you are able to keep on with homestead - its more cost-effective. Thats all.

    Pro is better if you need the very small extra things it can do, but they both run off the same kernel and it is just a different .dll that makes the difference
