What are the differences between Windows XP Home Edition, Media Edition, and
Professional Edition? Thanks. --Arthur
 
Looking for a side by side comparison of MCE and Pro. With a growing business
I have a home network already set up with two desk tops and two lap tops. In
the market to buy a new laptop. I travel and on ocassion need to connect to
my home network. Most of laptops seem to come with MCE.

Been to

Only compares XP home and XP Pro
and

no side by side (that I could find)

Thanks

XP MCE is a superset of XP Professional. It has everything in Professional
(except the ability to join a domain) plus its extra media features.

Unless you need to join a domain (and from the above, it wouldn't seem so)
MCE should be fine for you, even if you never need or use its media
features.
