There are MANY differences, of which i have no time to list, but in short: Home has less options for non-computer ppl to messup. and comes with different defaults:

ex. when you install home, the taskbar will be locked so someone doesnt by accident click it and drag it and not knoo how to get it back.

It also doent have REmote Connection (i beleive) and the power for business applications....


I could go on...

I have both, and someone in my fam. is Windows XP tech support.
