diff btw xp home n proff

xp home is degraded version of xp professional
it lacks network configarations
it doesnt support user grops n diskmaintainence

gpedit group editor is not there in it.

we cant customize it for our needs for xp home .

with xp proffesional we can do all we want like reliance info confiugred the explorer in xp professonal in their realbroad band systems in webworld.
