Old school OS - XP Home or Pro?

Post by Immanuel »

Hi there

Is there any advantage of using XP pro over using XP home. I'm already removing loads of stuff from pro with nlite. I just need another license soon.

Thanks guys :)

How about 64bit xp? Any gain there? Or would this be a premature question, until SP 5 is out? :D

Maybe off topic... Better to put this into tech talk or problem solving IMO ;-)

Ups! I wanted to put it in tech talk. Must have been too fast.

I'm not sure if you plan to host the next version of Google, but for anything related to audio and multimedia it will be a loss, and nothing but a loss.
It will only seem to be faster, as they roll out one generation of chips after the other. Anything will be faster anyway, even if they'd split up a quadcore into 128 virtual 8bit Commodore 64s :D

cheers, Tom
