and your source?

Not able to network? Umm, I've got two XP Home computers that I networked. All of the computers at my parents work have XP Home and are networked, as well as multi-user.

Here are a few... from Microsoft them self

And if you still want more...here you go

:cookie: :p

now you're gonna say that you didn't know that XP pro and home edition where different....

did you really think MS put out 2 of the exact same thing?

No I didn't think that MS had put out two identical OS's w/ different names.

Your statement that Pro was better than Home is your opinion and prefrence for what you need.

As for whoever called me a douche... Grow up.

well i called someone a douche, but... well it wasn't you. it was the guy who said your setup was "poop" to use the vernacular. so i guess you could say i was defending you. yea you could say that if you were so inclined.

what's funny about that is this: home and pro editions are, in fact, different but for none of the reasons you gave. not able to network? are you kidding me?

hold... your signature says you've got a P4 3.0E HT - is that extream edition?? And you have WinXP Home?? Why?!?!:huh:

No it's not an EE. And Home works just fine thanks. I use Pro at work. I don't need the few minor differences in Pro at home!

How is that printer? I was thinking of picking one up.

The Canon i960 photo quality is unreal... Read the reviews... They're all true. Photos look just like you'd get at a quality lab. The new iP5000 replaces it (with 1 picoliter printing), but I couldn't find any reviews... The i960 is just $119.99 now so it's an incredible value...

Let's see... I can network just fine with Home... I can setup users for me and my wife and anyone else I want...

I realize the level of networking isn't the same as in Pro, but I'm at home.

Less security? I assume you mean with regards to setting up network shares and such. Yeah, I can't specify which users can access a share... Again I'm not looking to lock down my computers that way.

Works for me... May not for you.

what do you mean by not able to network?

I got 2 computers running on home, wirelessly networked.

Is there a performance difference?  like in games and stufF?

No performance differences. Pro is just better for corporate environments. The major differences are in networking and support for file encryption within the file system.

    • AMAZON needs to take total accountability for this.
    • Server Summit had a heap of announcements, ADCS changes are baller.
    • Nice, hope they *finally* fixed the issue with the NTFS driver where the system would completely brick during large file copies using the built in driver. It's been broken for years requiring me to use the older, slower, NTFS-3G FUSE driver.
    • Windows 11 KB5094126 BSODing, freezing, forcing BitLocker lockout, breaks OneDrive, and more by Sayan Sen Microsoft released Windows 11 KB5094126 and KB5093998 last week as the latest Patch Tuesday updates. Following that the company also published the accompanying dynamic updates under KB5094149, KB5095971, and KB5094156. While Microsoft has so far not acknowledged any major problems with the release, some users online are running into problems. These range from OneDrive and Dropbox access issues, BitLocker recovery lockouts, to blue screens and BSODs. The most common one seems to be happening with HP systems wherein affected users say they hit 0xc0430001 BSOD (blue screen of death) error code after the KB5094126 update. We wonder if this could be related to the recent bug we covered on HP devices wherein the ongoing Secure Boot certificate updates are leading to similar issues. While we are not certain, users affected by this issue likely need to ensure that the boot.stl file is included on the installation media (such as a USB installer or ISO), if the above-mentioned dynamic updates are deployed. If this file is missing, computers may fail to boot from the installation media and could display the error 0xc0430001. This STL file is used by Secure Boot to verify that the boot files are trusted, so it must match the same Windows version and system architecture. To ensure the file is included, Microsoft recommends using the Update WinPE script, which automatically updates the image and handles the required files. Alternatively, you can manually copy the boot.stl file from the Windows\Boot\EFI folder on a Windows device and place it in the matching folder on your installation media before deploying the updated image. Aside from blue screening some users also note their systems have been freezing following the update. This could be happening to Lenovo PCs specifically. In the case of the OneDrive and Dropbox access issues, a user figured out that there could be a conflict with UAC. He explained: "Okay, so I did some digging, and in our environment KB5094126 breaks OneDrive and Dropbox in Explorer. I went through all our GPOs and found out that the combination of disabling UAC and having my user being a local admin breaks OneDrive in Explorer. ... If I enable UAC again, then it works, even with KB5094126 still installed." Hopefully, Microsoft will look into these issues.

    • It is when it's a desktop in my house though for a PC that's lightly used and not really important when it is. If it was a laptop, it would be a different story. The real solution is varied and begins starting at post #22 in that thread.
