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.

krome has a little shameless behaviour in the past
I have windows xp and I feel that it has gone the way of the do-do bird.

I have let myself get behind the times with my pc being over 10 years old now.
There are some programs that will not run on xp.

Lately I have been pricing so windows 7 home edition at Walmart. Or should I
consider purchasing it at a repridable computer store.

My Windows XP takes too long to get Shut Down or never Shut Down on it’s own, I have to manually Shut it down.
