Difference between Windows XP Home and Professional

[gflores]

What is difference between Windows XP Home and Professional? I've heard that Professional has more stability and such, but I haven't received a really clear explanation on their difference. Could someone direct me to a site explaining it, or could someone explain it to me . Thanks.

See the FAQ.

Pro will not be more stable. They're both the same binaries.

Home does not support joining a domain. Pro does.
Home has Remote Assistance. Pro has Remote Desktop.

Those are the two major differences.

Note: I just read that FAQ and several of the bullet points are, to the best of my knowledge, incorrect. Unfortunately I do not have the time to verify that information right now.

Microsoft is a great place to find out about all four flavors of Windows XP. Not to mention all their other software. Pick an OS to see it's features.
