"Corporate" not only does not exist (as a name) - but even if you consider
the type of license as "corporate", it is still not a TYPE of Windows XP.
As far as I know, there are 4 (right now) "Windows XP Versions".

Windows XP Home Edition
Windows XP Professional
Windows XP Tablet Edition
Windows XP 64bit Edition

I believe Tablet is merely a superset of Professional. 64bit is likely more
elaborate, but would qualify (network wise) as Professional.

The differences are in the way you can "corporate network" (join domains,
etc) and remote with XP Professional and you cannot with Home. So for a
gamer, it has no bearing if they use XP Home or Professional.

Actually there are 5 - you forgot the Media Centre Edition (which is only
available with a MCE system and cannot be purchased separately). It is, like
the TE, merely a superset of Pro.

There is no such thing as 'corporate'. This was the name given to the
illegal version floating around immediately after XP's release. It was a
cracked Volume or Open Licence edition. Besides, it was 'Pro' anyway,
therefore not a version, per se.

Well, there's no such thing as "Corporate," but otherwise it
doesn't make a bit of difference.
