nope, the only difference between these two OS is that the PRO version has
networking options for business home doesn't have it. If you don't have a
business like network at home you don't need it.
I hope this helps
Thanks

Support for multiple processors- Windows XP Professional
supports symmetric multiprocessor (SMP) designs that
employ up to two CPUs. If you install Windows XP Home
Edition on an SMP system, it will not use the second
processor.
Support for 64-bit CPUs- Systems built around a 64-bit
Intel Itanium processor must use a 64-bit version of
Windows XP Professional; the Home Edition is unable to
work with this CPU.
Advanced security features- Several sophisticated
security capabilities are found only in Windows XP
Professional, including support for Encrypting File
System and Internet Protocol Security (IPSec) as well as
the ability to assign complex access controls to files.
Internet Information Services-
Using Windows XP Professional Edition, you can set up a
personal Web server using Internet Information Services
(IIS) 5; this capability is not available in Home
Edition.
Remote Desktop Connection- Using this feature, you can
configure a Windows XP Professional machine to allow
remote access, either across a local area network or over
the Internet. The client machine can be running any 32-
bit version of Windows, including Windows 95/98/Me,
Windows 2000, or any version of Windows XP. You cannot
make a remote connection to a system running Windows XP
Home Edition (although it does include the similar Remote
Assistance feature, which allows a remote user to share
the desktop for support and training purposes).
Domain membership- On a corporate network, Windows XP
Professional Edition can join a domain and take advantage
of domain-based management features such as group
policies and roaming profiles. A system running Windows
XP Home Edition can access domain resources such as
printers and servers, but it does not exist as an object
in the domain.
Dynamic disks- Windows XP Professional allows you to
create disk volumes that span multiple hard drives; this
capability allows you to increase the storage capacity
and performance of drives. Windows XP Home Edition
supports only basic volumes, which follow the same basic
partitioning rules as disk structures created in Windows
95/98 and Windows Me.
Windows XP Professional is a massive collection of code
that tries to be all things to all people, from
performance-obsessed gamers to buttoned-down corporate
executives and spreadsheet jockeys.
