Can someone tell me what softare is included in each
edition?

Windows XP is an "Operating System". It does not include
any additional software such as Microsoft Office, nor does
it include an antivirus program.

Application software? None, except for trivial things like
notepad and wordpad, in both editions.

No version of WIndows has ever come with any significant
application software.

The two versions are _identical_ when it comes to performance,
stability, and device driver and software application compatibility,
but are intended to meet different functionality, networking,
security, and ease-of-use needs, in different environments. The most
significant differences are that WinXP Pro allows up to 10
simultaneous inbound network connections while WinXP Home only allows
only 5, WinXP Pro is designed to join a Microsoft domain while WinXP
Home cannot, and only WinXP Pro supports file encryption and IIS.

"Which is better?" That depends entirely upon the uses to which
you put your computer, the network environment in which you'll operate
it, your specific security needs, and your level of computer
knowledge.

The central system is identical. Pro has some additional facilities -
See http://www.winsupersite.com/showcase...p_home_pro.asp
for the list of things that are in Pro only. In addition Pro will
support ten simultaneous connections in a network - Home only five
