As far as I know the Home and Professional editions of Windows XP are nearly identical; the only differences are additional features found in the Professional edition that most likely won't appeal to home users:

Here I will suggest some difference that I heard:

Windows XP Home Edition provides:

• Contains basic support for security among multiple users.
• Built-in support for peer-to-peer networking, but only for up to five computers.
• The backup utlity is not installed by default, but is included on the CD.

Windows XP Professional Edition provides:

• Includes extended support for security between multiple users on the same machine.
• Better support for peer-to-peer networking, plus support for joining a "Windows NT domain."
• The backup utlity is installed by default.
• Provides support for multi-processor systems (2 or 4 CPUs), Dynamic Disks, Fax.

Hi,


Windows XP is best suitable for Personal Comuter or for home edition.
Windows NT is the network edition.
