Just got my new laptop and it has XP Professional on it.....
Noted that with MP3 files, XP Home displays music information like artists and song length but pro does not...
What other differences have people noted between them?
Differences between XP Home & Professional?

Better security features and file sharing functionality, mainly. As far as MP3 files. . . .what are you talking about? I'm using Professional and it displays MP3 metadata just fine. Unless you have your tags labeled poorly I can't think of any explanation for that.

XP Home Edition computers cannot join a Windows domain. lack a Remote Desktop Server, IIRC have a limit of seven users on the machine, lack IIS, and in general, lack workstation/business oriented functionality. Home Edition systems are suitable for consumer use but in companies with Windows networks, are relatively useless, IMO.
XP Pro can be used as a workstation or even as a small scale mini-server type system.

Don't know why because my home machine does display all the metadata on the songs....does not effect my ability to navigate through my song list anyway and there is no pause while it scans through the files for that infoGeneral Zod wrote:Better security features and file sharing functionality, mainly.

Well, my laptop does not have multiple cores or processorsPraxis wrote:Home can't join a Domain, doesn't have Remote Desktop, and doesn't support multiple processors (multiple CORES are different from multiple processors).
