| 76105 | 2002-09-03 23:56:00 | Thanks for that godfather, i just thought if someone whos reasonably experienced was so lazy as to not even goto the microsoft site to find the differences, why would they bother to click on a link. They would much prefer to have it spoon feed to them. | roofus (483) | ||
| 76106 | 2002-09-03 23:58:00 | He has helped a lot of people in a lot of areas, so I think your criticism is a bit misplaced. | godfather (25) | ||

| 76108 | 2002-09-04 00:21:00 | roofus, The lazy factor does come into it ... and why not? I thought this was a place where people liked to exchange information and opinion about computery stuff, so it seemed appropriate to ask. There is another factor.... i want to hear what people have to say who are the users of these systems, not just look at the properganda from the manufacturers and distributors. The latter sources will be trying to sell something, they definately won't say some thing like " yeah pro says it does this, but it's a waiste of time in practice". Even the "independant" reviews will have to be sensitive to the advertisers preferences. A balanced picture will only come from asking the people who use it, and thus getting a users picture of an OS i have probably used for less than an hour in my life. I run '98 on one machine and suse 8.0 on the other. I would be irresponcible to recomend or condemn something i have never tried without first checking it out here with those who have. |

| 76109 | 2002-09-04 00:43:00 | Go on, tell the truth Chris....... you are only trying to catch up with the likes of Godfather and Susan in the number of posts you have. Roofus, lighten up. This is a forum. You can ask what you like when you like. Sometimes its easier just to type a query. As Chris says, he was only trying to get a fresh perspective on XPpro and XPhome. BALDY:-) |

| 76110 | 2002-09-04 01:05:00 | Um yeah Baldy, >>Even Chris dosen't know EVERYTHING! Besides, he has the problem of >>his cave being demolished, to worry about, and all those lovely little >>lights to re- install LOL Actually theres about ½ a tonne of lighting, about 15,000watts worth, not to mention the 1½tonnes of soundgear i'll have to find a short term home for . . But the real problem will be preparing for the housewarming party once i finally resettle . . . What will i wear on the night?????? Back to XP, thanks to -=JM=-, Mike, Babe, and Godfather for your input on the subject Thanks also to Baldy & Greg S for your notes of humour . yes 600+, This is post 666, so i better listen to heavy metal or something all day, if post count numbers mean anything . . . . . . :p ]:) Bye! Chris . |

| 76113 | 2002-09-04 07:24:00 | Right Chris, back on the thread . . . . I use XP Home . Its bloody brilliant as far as I am concerned . Now a lot of posts here with XP problems I have seen relate to permissions and other file security issues . With home, you don't have those levels and hence dont have the problem . On the other hand if you really need the access controls and/or the domain ability for networking, or the remote access you need XP Pro . I don't, and XP home suits fine . Networks brilliantly and is stable as . I suspect that many home users with Pro would have had less trouble with Home . For once M$ may have got it right with the split . And I support the nature question, as this sort of info cannot easily be gathered easily from a Google, you can keep answering the post and requesting more . . . Cheers |

| 76114 | 2002-09-04 09:55:00 | Thank You Godfather, Your info has been rather helpful. Between that and following the links provided by Babe, i now have an adequate understanding of what the basic differences are in practice. Home sounds like a better choice, as the person who is getting it is not really that computer literate, so anything that might cause unneeded problems can and will, and therefore would be an unwise choice. |
