XP Home and Pro are basically the same, there are differences in areas such as network (Home can't be a member of a domain), file system (Home's NTFS is seriously crippled), user administration (Home knows only "administrator" and "normal user" rights) and such, but the rest is the same, both are fully based on the NT kernel.
