How about a version for the under 25 crowd....heck lets make it under 15.

Home is just a stripped down, crippled up version of Pro, designed to sell for less money to those who couldn't otherwise afford anything but a pirated version.
It's so crippled in fact that it needs a walker.

The best fix for a screwed up install of Home is an overlay of Pro. That solves a multitude of problems.

Is that easy enough to understand?

Cheers,

Thazuar - XP Home and XP Pro are both built on the exact same kernel. In terms of stability, there is absolutely no difference between the two.

Thanks for specifying, I always wondered cause Home really feels like it's of a lesser quality (not speaking about missing functions, only the "feel" of it). I'll tell the techie who said it was because of different core architecture, that he was wrong

It always depends on the WAY you say things

My point was that the responce was crude and rude, and it was readily apparent that it was immature and from someone in the 25 yr. old range group. I've taken my punishment, this is my last post here. <{POST_SNAPBACK}>

I don't really think that it's fair to automatically specify someone's age group based on the type of response you get. I remember on another forum I used to go to, I got a reply from someone calling me a "twit" and other such names... turns out it was a 62 year old man... I'm twenty, and everyone that I asked agreed that I was handling the situation much more maturely than he did.

Sorry to say RedCloud, you started that one with the following...

Actually, XP Professional is not suited for 25 yr. old techies. Science has proven immature brain syndrone. Better stick with XP home for video games.

On the contrary... when two different versions of software are released, the more expensive and feature rich versions are often built up on top of the base version. XP is XP. XP Pro is XP with extra features. If you didn't understand that, read it again. Then read it again out loud.

I'll say this once and for all to try to silence the competition (I know it won't work) - XP Home is not "crippled"! For the majority of people out there, it does the job just fine - without any problems that you wouldn't run into by running XP Pro. On my first computer, I had XP Home for the longest time, and the computer was running 24/7 without any problems whatsoever.

You're welcome. And yes, it all does depend on how you say things. There's always a way of saying (almost) everything so that the other person doesn't become offended.

Yay! Someone else saw through his crap...thanx for the vote of confidence Zxian.

[Zxian]

I really dislike it when people who spread misinformation. That's all.

[InTheWayBoy]

Same here...I guess that's what got me in his cross-hairs, as I made mention that he didn't seem to know what he was talking about. Oh well, one less head case to deal with
