Is there any reason that Xp Home or XP Pro would make any difference on multitrack software?
Is one better than the other?

Shouldn't make a difference with most software. I'm pretty sure the core of both OS' is the same.sixways said:

nah, not really any difference as far as DAW working goes.
Pro mostly just has more networking options...which we really could care less about

pro version is supposed to be a bit more stable and less finicky about hardware support.

Not true, they both run on the kernel and have the exact same hardware support. The differences between them lie in support for other business-oriented requirements. The primary difference between Home and Pro is that a Pro machine supports being a member of domains (primarily used in mid to large sized companies), while Home can only be a member of a local workgroup.tbonejc1 said:
Smaller differences in Home are a lack of remote connection via Remote Desktop, and a lack of support for Microsoft's Encrypting File System.
Aside from those and a few other even smaller differences, they are the same platform. There is nothing different between them that will affect anything that you do. Go with Home...it's cheaper.

The only thing Pro offers that I wish I had is remote desktop support. I got around it using a free aftermarket VNC program, but it seems to be a bit of a resource hog and occasionally will make Protools hiccup. I'm thinking the MS one would be more efficient since it's integrated into the OS, or maybe I'm talking out my ass again.

No, Remote Desktop IS much more efficient. At our company, we remotely manage our customer's servers (because we're a lot better at it than they arereshp1 said:The only thing Pro offers that I wish I had is remote desktop support.

). We have gone far enough as to tell them the only remote technology we will use is RDP...it's just that much better. No VNC, no Citrix, no PCAnywhere. Besides, RDP allows you to connect your local drives, printers and serial ports to the remote machine, and at a lower quality, will even transmit sounds from the remote machine to yours.Similar threads
