I have Home. Pro has more bells and whistles. I wish I had more whistles.

No. 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.

Thanx A lot mate, I don't connect to any sort of LAN so
that should be ok. And I can use third party encryption
tools which are probably better anyway.

Not if the additional features and functions in Pro are not needed or
wanted at all. Then purchasing Pro is just a waste of money.
