Hi Everyone,
I'm making myself a new computer and wondered which Operating System to have... The obvious choice would be Pro, however, everyone I've asked so far has said that Home is better... I'll be mainly using the computer for Gaming and Instant Messenging.
Just wondered everyone else's opinions...

Think for what you need, Home would definatly be the easiest option. Professional is more suited for servers and networking i think.
Home is cheaper too

Hi! If you use the pc for gaming or messeging than you have to use HOME EDITION! I personally use Pro, because I use'em for makeing flashes or 3d gaphrics, maybe home is better for you! Cheers!

If I remember correctly, XP Pro comes with Backup utility and XP Home doesn't. Well technically its not true. XP Home has it too but it doesn't get installed by default. Its on the XP Home disc somewhere but you have to install it manually. Thats what I read in a PC mag anyway!!
