XP Home or Professional?

A

Anthony Wilson

I am currently looking to purchase Windows XP running on a
P4 machine. I am trying to decide whether to get the Home
or Professional version.
Primarily the machine will be used for music applications
such as Sound Forge and Sibelius.
The machine will operate as a 'stand alone' machine - not
connected to any others.
Any advice you can give me on this matter would be
appreciated

If the machine will never be networked, then you should be OK with the home
version. Here's an in-depth comparison chart:
