for example home edition lacks some functionality compared. i don't really see the use of home edition. lacks remote desktop wich i don't use cause it's made so simple that i haven't figured how to use it.
win xp pro compared to win2003 server also has some disabled stuff. u can't have conected to same share more than 10 users. this is the method for them to protect the small business server by not letting u use winxp as server. if u ask me then i'd tell u that this is bullshit.
i don't really see the use of so many fuckin versions of windows. home, pro, small server, small business, advanced, oem, retail, olp, volume licence, 10 users, 20 users, 100 users, 1 processors, more processors etc. it makes me sick to the stomach. in my opinion there should have been a desktop version and a server version. linux can do both in same package. hate m$ marketing shit! now they want to have 6 or 7 versions of vista. that is sick!! if those were really different versions there would be a nightmare maintaining them. but they are the same thing where the premium version is left as it is and the lower versions are being cripled. it's the same thing and u must pay more than 50% to get the good version and not the crippled one. it's like selling cows. they are all cloned and have same features. and u take one and u remove an eye and name i destop version and sell it for 150$. u break a leg and that version is the "home" version and u sell it for 100$. and the almost perfect and uncripled cow u name it server an sell it for 1000$. wake up m$! not all of us are americans and fall for ur shit!
