I don't know what you've heard but XP Professional and XP Home
are exactly the same in all respects, except that Professional
has a few features (mostly related to networking and security)
missing from Home. For most (but not all) home users, even those
with a home network, these features aren't needed, would never be
used, and buying Professional instead of Home is a waste of
money.

Also note that Professional allows ten concurrent network
connections, and Home only five.
