I have a real copy of XP home and a copy of Corp i just dwled. I have a dell 8200 with a 2 ghz chip, 120 gigs of hd (2 HD's 3 Partitions) 512 ram. Im on my univer. network which i hear is a OC3 connection. What would be better sticking with the licenced copy of home or the Corp?

always use the authentic copy if you have one

it's safer if you do your online banking

my dad told me anyways

anyways...unless you're planning on joining a domain, need integrated encryption, or things of the like, Home Edition is probably
fine for you.

Which version of Microsoft® Windows®  XP is right for me?

Confused about which version of Windows XP best meets your needs? For
individual consumers or those with small home networks, Windows XP
Home Edition is generally the right choice. Windows XP Home Edition
helps unlock the potential of the personal computer to provide users
with the best of the Internet and digital entertainment. Windows XP
Home Edition supports home networking for up to five users to
simultaneously access shared resources (e.g internet connections,
printers, shared disk drivers, etc.). Windows XP Professional
contains all the features in Windows XP Home Edition plus additional
features for business and power users. If your system will be part of
a corporate domain and/or will be remotely managed, Windows XP
Professional is the best solution.

Features available only in Windows XP Professional

> Peer to peer networking for up to 10 simaltaneous users (Windows XP
Home only supports five simaltaneous users)
> Server-based networking using domain authentication and support for
Active Directory

access files, applications and network services from almost any
computer
> Encrypted File System (EFS) helps protect sensitive data, even if
your computer is stolen

> Access Control restricts access to files and folders
> Enhanced software restriction policy allows adminstrators to
identify software and control its ability to execute
> Group Policies allow administrators to organize users into logical
groups and assign settings (security, appearance, management options)
> Offline Files and Folders and Synchronization Manager allow users
to work on documents while disconnected from the network. Offline
folders can be encrypted for protection. Document changes are
replicated back to the network
> System Preparation tool helps administrators clone configurations
and applications for deployment to multiple machines

installed across the network
