xp pro vs xp home

anyone upgraded their oem install of win xp home to xo pro? just wondering if its worth it on the netbook or not?

 

WindowsXP PRO supports networks, domains etc. Home version does not as it is never connected to proper server - it supports peer-to-peer networks which you can create on every OS... Judge for your self. I have PRO but never used full network connectivity/features as I do not have server available...

 

i know about the networking features xp pro has over home as all my systems have been using xp pro for years. xp pro on desktop systems is a faster os imo over xp home. ive used both on vanilla builds and notice a difference. im just wondering whether its worth clearing off the oem crud and doing a complete fresh install of xp pro ( assuming i can get all the drivers i would need)

 

You already know. Just assume you have a computer with four year old specs, a little screen and little keyboard, and then ask yourself what you're planning to do with it exactly, and then ask yourself what you ought to do. No help required.
