Years ago I bought Windows XP Home edition thinking how
it would be a great replacement for Windows 98. Boy was I
wrong. Windows XP Home Edition is nothing more than a
stripped down version of the complete Windows XP!.
Windows XP Professional!. Home editions are useless. Look
at this websites comparison beteween Windows XP and
Windows 98SE
http://www.microsoft.com/WindowsXP/pro/evaluation/whyupgra
de/sidebyside/default.asp. Why didn't MS compare Windows
XP Home edition with Windows 98SE, since they say that
the Home edition is a replacement for Windows 98. And if
you look at Alienwares, Dell, and Gateways highend gaming
PC's. They recommend Windows XP Professional. And look at
another of this website's links. Read the "Note:"
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/evaluation/default.asp.
"Windows XP Professional May be right for you". I didn't
read that when I was doing my research here years ago. I
guess now I will have to spend $299.00, and bypass
Longhorn in 2005, because of finances, Windows XP cost me
$400.00 to own, and because MS mis-informed me. Thanks
MS!. Windows XP Professional gives users "Home or
Business" the best in security, multiprocessor support,
for all you graphics, and gaming needs. And Remote
Desktop. (Complete). Not only can you access another PC
with Professional, but your own PC with Professional. Not
true with the stripped Home edition. Also Windows Media
Center Edition, which should have been the Home edition,
and Windows XP Tablet PC edition are all based on the
complete Windows XP that was beta tested years ago.
Windows XP Professional. I hope that MS will not make the
same mistake they made With Windows XP. A useless Home
edition!. Give us people "only" the complete package or
nothing! Now we realize that Windows XP Professional is
the complete Windows XP. And I won't buy an Upgrade
Version!. "Because if I accidently loose my Windows 98 cd
in the future, I wasted $199.00. Because the upgrade will
now be useless!". Upgrade versions are also useless for
this very reason I have mentioned. Sorry for the
complaining, but I am just telling it as it truly is in
my eyes!!.
 
I know your gonna say "what if you loose your Windows XP
Pro cd!. $299.00 down the drain". But at least I would
still have Windows 98, if I loose the full version!. With
the upgrade you loose both!.
 
Hi Bob,

I have been using Win98SE for years.
And now I have Win XP Home.
I would never go back to Win98SE.

But if you prefer Win98SE over Win XP Home, I suggest that you continue to
use it.

If anything it is your fault for not taking care of your CDs, not
researching what the 4 versions do and for generally taking the approach "I
couldn't be bothered to find which version was best so I will just blame it
on everyone else"

What you have truly told us is you will not and do not think you should be
responsible for your inadequacies and shortcomings. This whole rant saysI
didn't do my homework and now I think someone else should take the blame.

And in addition there is an implication that the Home edition is
"useless" for a standalone use by a Professional. I use a copy of Pro,
and I am hard pressed to think of when I last used a facility that would
not be supported by Home, except when checking on points for queries.
