I own 4 computers. 2 are xp professional and 2 are home
edition xp.

I downloaded for one of the computers on the aol net and
it took me 19.5 hours at 34200 baud. Long time. Other 3 I
ordered the disk and installed the service pak 2 in about
2 hours or little less. Bid difference.

Queston. my sign on screens used to say WINDOWS XP
PROFESSIONAL AND HAVE A BLUE PROGRESS BAR. Now it just
says WINDOWS XP. word professional is gone. Date has
changed at bottom of left screen too. On my other 2
comptuters running HOME EDITION, they dont say HOME
EDITION anymore. Now it just says WINDOWS XP and the
progress bar has changed from green to blue like the
professional bar. Is there a reason for all this. Outside
of that, the system runs ok with some miner changes I had
to make to picture viewing. Any idea anyone?

Hi

With 4 versions of XP now (Home, Pro, Media Edition, Tablet PC) I
guess they just got tired of having to handle the different startup
screens each time they needed to compile/link a new build of the
OS/Service pack. It takes one more thing out of the test matrix for
all the various builds, since it is now consistent across all
derivatives of Windows XP.

Keeping it simple is a way to save time and money.
