    I use Windows 7 Professional at home. The extra features don't get in the way. I just don't use them. There are a few extra networking functions such as being able to be joined to a domain (don't need it) and branch cacheing (don't use it) You can back up your stuff to a network drive with Windows 7 Professional, but I have never had the occasion to do so. There's Bitlocker disk encryption but I'm not that paranoid about my stuff. The XP Mode is the only feature that I would probably use.

    Bought a computer through Dell's business portal and it came with Windows 7 Professional.

    Choose Oggus.com. I'm very pleased. Purchased a Windows 7 key and after 20 minutes I received my key by email and it works perfectly, activated with no problems. I'm a super happy customer and will definitely use this service again. Highly recommended!

    I want to thank Emma here, she has won my business and I'll be posting my experience to you and others.

    My old computer crashed days ago. I had to buy a new computer. It costed me much.

    My budget was not much. To purchase a windows 7 key from MS was not enough. Then I went to Tomshardware, and one guy recommended http://www.danzibrothers.com/ to me. Their price did attract me. So I decided to try after several emails to Emma. She was very patient and answered clearly to all my questions. I receved the key immediately after I sent 35 bucks. It worked perfectly. I was very very satisfied.

    I'll be buying from http://www.danzibrothers.com/ from now on as well.

    If you want to use our machine in home in a professional way then you must have to install Professional OS, it will also fulfill your normal requirement dear. So I will suggest you Window professional.
