As I understand XP will come out in two flavors: home and professional.
I would suspect that people upgrading from ME will get the home version.
Given that the two should share the same kernel I would think the difference
might be in features or something and both should be equally stable.
I would suspect that people upgrading from Win2K will get XP Professional
but then professional is not out yet (I think).
I wonder how MS will explain the benefits of buying Prof. instead of Home.
It will probably remind me of the debate over the differences between
NT PRof. and NT Server, after some people said the difference
was nothing but a few configurable kernel settings.
