I just upgraded from home to pro, and have a few questions. First off, Home booted up faster than Pro, about 5-10 seconds. This isn't a big deal i was just wondering. Second what are the advantages of Pro vs. Home? I know there are some added security features, it suportsd the FAT32 format, and that you can configure the intergrated firewall, but are there any other important added features?

Thanks

yes

The first LAN party I went to was at a PETA convention. They booted me when I shot a crab in HL!

WinXP Corporate, then you don't have to register. :)

It is corporate. Is that the only difference between corporate and normal?

Yeah, it is WinXP Pro Corporate. When you get to the registration part it says registration is optional.

The best thing in XP for me is the remote login. from my room out above the shop, I can log into the machine in the house and connect it to the internet or whatever. with home edition I would have to buy PCAnywhere or use something like WinVNC <--Good free program for remoting over a network.
