XP Home vs. Professional -- 10:55 am CST, Update by A.T. Hun
Ars Technica gives a quick overview of the differences between WindowsXP Home Edition and Professional Edition. It sounds like if you are anything vaguely resembling a "power user," you are going to want to pony up the extra coin for the Professional Edition. Maybe in a couple of years I'll have a machine powerful enough to run XP decently. Hopefully by then it will be moot.Having said that, if the new DOOM is XP-only (which I'm certain it won't be) I may have to rethink it. Even if I were keen on remaining in the Windows world, I would wait until at least the end of next year and let all the early adopters iron out all the bugs.
If you are really interested in the latest and greatest in Windows, you'll want to check out Windows RG (Really Good) Edition. It has everything you've come to expect from Redmond's OSes.
