Differences between the 2 XPs

[Qwert]

What are the main differences between XP Pro and Home? If I am getting a computer for mostly Games + Web and a little application is there any real use to getting Pro, or should I just go with Home?

Home is fine.

Pro has encryption and office stuff.

XP Professional I think it made for networking. I don't know what home is for, but they work exactly the same to be. But I honestly think that Pro makes a better networking OS than home does.

home should be fine, i didnt know there was that little difference between the two....

home edition is for normal use while professional edition is for advance networking

so would it be harder to network pcs w/ home rather than pro???
P.s. sorry for bringing up an old thread but this topic was exactly what i was looking for

ive never tried networking home but i dont think it would be significantly harder.
