XP Home vs. XP Pro

I've used both/have both on numerous different PC's and I can't tell what the difference is between the two other than price...
 
Yeah, but by replying to this you got another psot for the count 🙂

Thanks. So pretty much, to the common user, there is no difference.
 
XP Pro gives you the ability to reach Google.com so you can research stuff 😀

It also has a significantly longer support life than XP Home because it's a business-level OS. Support for XP Home ends two years after the successor is released (Vista), whereas support for XP Pro ends September 2013, if I recall my lifecycles correctly.
 
Well, for us common users with home networks, the difference is significant. 🙂
 
Comparison

For most home network users the main differences are the ability to add to a windows domain, Home cannot, and NTFS permissions instead of craptaculous Simple File sharing (home)
