Windows XP Common Problems
 

Probably biggest gotcha! is that Windows XP Pro and Windows XP Home are very different products. Lots is missing in XP Home and it is much less stable than XP Pro.

Home shouldn't be any more or less stable than Pro; not that it matters these days though since XP is over 10 years old and nearing EOL.

Seems like this might be just someone trying to get link backs by starting a thread with no real useful information.
