Lee G. Veteran Posted February 6, 2005 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 comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyoung1616 Posted February 6, 2005 Share Posted February 6, 2005 Thanks for the tip but I was able to put Windows xp pro sp2 with wmp 10 on a intel 100 mhz with 32 mb ram and a 1 gig hd. 585417119[/snapback] Yeah, you can put a saddle on a big dog but you can't ride that puppy very hard.

Lee G. Veteran Posted February 6, 2005 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 comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Posted February 7, 2005 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 comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
