Pro allows you change more settings and hence greatly increases your changes

Thanks for all the responses. Sounds like WindowsXP Pro will address my
previous post concerning setting one box up as a fileserver.
If I wanted to switch to WindowsXP Pro, can I use my license code from XP
Home??

Switching to xp pro would require you to purchase a new copy/key for xp
pro(the upgrade version of xp pro works fine).
You can use xp pro as a file server, just note that only 10 connections can
be made to it concurrently. If you need more than 10 connections to the
server then you have to upgrade to an actual server version of windows.

Thanks again for the response.
I would only have 2 computers connecting to each other so I won't hit the
limit of 10.
Now to resolve my licensing issue with Home and Pro.... :-(

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.

Pro has a number of extra facilities, aimed primarily at corporations
and their networking and management. See
http://www.winsupersite.com/showcase/windowsxp_home_pro.asp
for a good account - the only one missing is that in a network, Pro will
support ten connections, Home only five
Unless you see something in Pro only that you realise you will *need*
get Home - the systems are otherwise identical

One of the things that bothers me by
such replies as this is that this
presupposes that XP HE is incapable of
adding such features as IIS and multiple
download links. In fact this isn't so.
XP Home Edition can be modified with
relative ease to allow up to 10
simultaneous downloads using IE6 as well
as installing and running IIS. Although
features like the group policy editor
are still not available there is little
else XP PRO can do that HE can't. Keep
smiling.

One thing that I never see mentioned in the replies to this
frequently-asked question is that, according to the information
at: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/lifecycleconsumer.mspx
the effective date for "Exiting Extended Support phase" is
12/31/06 for XP Home and 12/31/08 for XP Pro.
Also, the effective "End of Life" date is 12/31/07 for XP Home
and 12/31/09 for XP Pro.
