Poll: Do you use XP Home or Pro?

Just wondering...

Sunday, April 3, 2005 by PurrBall | Discussion: PC Gaming

Just from my skin downloads for the same skin in Home and Pro flavor, Home is up by 10 downloads. What XP do you use?

Pro. Had home, but the OEM install was missing some features (like recovery console) that I wanted to have.

Since I have no need at home for networking and work provides systems for me to test with, I use XP Home.

Paxx, you can actually run IIS on XP Home - http://www.xfriday.com/xp_home_iis_problem.asp It takes a little work, but it can be done.

I don't like either of them really Naa, I use XP Professional. I am studying programming, and I'll be moving on to web building soon. After that, I think I might study Information Technology. After I get that done I think I'll be working with computers...lmao Got any openings Stardock?

Pro. Must have all the features. Even though I'm not sure what they all are. Think it's a philosofical matter of freedom...


btw, can you see from your downloads what OS people use?

I use Pro at work and on my laptop, and Home on my home PC.  I have a home network at home, and use remote desktop out, but have no need to remote desktop in, so Pro would have just been a waste of money.

Ah.. You can see the OS they use by creating a skin that SAYS Home, and one that says Pro. I'll recheck the stats..

BTW... Both comps in my house use Home, 1 upgraded from 98, and the other one came with Home.. There are cheats in Home I have used to get Pro features, except for the ones I don't need (i.e encrypted fs)
