i got xp pro from some one else who got rid of it and wanted to know if there was any big or any difference at all from windows xp home.

Here's a link to a comparsion of the two products from Microsoft:

In general, for the casual/home user, the Home Edition should be adequate, for a network, business, or advanced user, the Pro would be a better choice.

thanks it seems to me that u dont loose anything that was in home and you gain a lot so i think ill install it.
again thanks for the link
