Lee G. Veteran Share Posted February 6, 2005 pro for me... and why over home? remote desktop connection 585421508[/snapback] I've never used the Remote Desktop Connection on Professional. Good point! But I'm sure average Home users won't need that and if they do they can use a program such as VNC. Link to post Share on other sites

Lee G. Veteran Share Posted February 6, 2005 ^ Cool - how did you do that - I copied gpedit.msc + snapins and .DLLs and it still doesn't work. How do you get components like gpedit to work on Home Edition? Link to post Share on other sites
Frank Share Posted February 7, 2005 XP Pro also supports more then one cpu. And has more network management tools. 585421819[/snapback] You are correct. How many Home users use Multiple CPU machines or have ANY use for those network management tools? Link to post Share on other sites
