whats better xp home or professional.
i wanna know the difference between them and the benefits of either one.

 

[Nodsu]

Professional is better. The only benefit of Home is that it is cheaper.

 

[roy1234]

but how is professional better?
like is it faster somehow?

 

[Nodsu]

It has more features. You could, like, google for xp professional home features

 

[Jungchen]

i have home and it's perfect! no need for professional, because if you're not a computer expert, professional is of no use to you...

 

[nismo91]

yes. if you do not need. go for home edition.
but if you're in need of the license (commercial use) or feature, no choice have to go to Professional.

somehow, you;ll notice this sentence :
this feature is not available in this version of windows.
this feature only available in windows xp professional.

so, for computer expert, pro is a must...

oh.
where do you think i can purchase an OEM
in a store not online.
i might get a bad CD and i cant take risk of wasting money.

 

[Nodsu]

The CD is totally irrelevant. You can download it off the web or copy from a friend.
The thing that you are buying is the licence in the form of the product key.

 

[roy1234]

so the product key is what you need.
can you use two product keys?

 

[Nodsu]

What do you mean by using two product keys? If you install Windows, it asks for a product key. There is no need to put in another..

 

[beef_jerky4104]

I don't understand? Windows can only use one CD-Key.

 

[roy1234]

like using your friends CD and product key to register.
