Poll: Do you use XP Home or Pro?

Reply #1 April 3, 2005 4:13 PM from WinCustomize Forums Top

I use Pro because I am studying Network Administration slowly at work - (I am an assistant manager of the Quality Control department, and a "field" helper for the Network Administrators when time and necessity permits) - to attain a professional level of competence with the OS.

Pro has a lot of administrator security and networking features that are absent in the Home edition.

My old desktop (being fixed) was upgraded from WindowsME to XP Home. I just bought a laptop and it has XP Pro.

Anyone use that press the green button whatever one? It's nice looking by default. Tried to find the theme but apparently can't get it for pro or home, I use pro though, and just got that one because I figured it sounded better.

Home would be fine if I didn't need IIS. But since I need to have IIS to build my websites, I have Pro.

Reply #21 April 3, 2005 10:40 PM from WinCustomize Forums Top

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

Pro

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.
