Hi - I am Jon Wilson from Mount Mercy College. Here is what I found in Tech
Net about Windows XP Home Edition. I had a student on Thursday the 10th come
in with a laptop I was unable to network because of the following per
Microsoft's Tech Net. Please pass it on to your friends and co-workers who
work in the field so they can know about the differences.
Many thanks, and regards,
Jon Wilson

This is what I discovered about Windows XP HEN (Home Edition) from Tech
Net on January 11th, 2002:
Comparing Windows XP Home Edition and Windows XP Professional Feature
Differences
Because Windows XP Professional is targeted to businesses, it contains
several features that are not included with Windows XP Home Edition. These
features can be categorized into two groups:
· Functionality that is important for business use but typically not for
home use
· Complexity that adds value for business use, but typically not for home
use
Although Windows XP Professional is targeted to businesses, home users might
also require or gain advantage from using Windows XP Professional features
that are not included in Windows XP Home Edition.
Features not included in Windows XP Home Edition are mostly in the following
categories:
· Corporate management
· Corporate security
· Networking
· File system
· User Interface
· Advanced and power-user
Important Computers running Windows XP Home Edition cannot join corporate
domains. For this reason, features that require machine accounts within a
domain, such as Group Policy, are not available in Windows XP Home Edition.
