The differences between them two are almost unnoticeable for we the average users, the only thing I can say is that originally the home edition is aimed for the normal user, and professional is aimed for some harder management stuff and so on. With the proper software there shall be no difference between them.
About the Laptop, I'd say go for Intel and try to get a Centrino processor, they save lots of energy when you're using the battery (the performance decrases a bit but well...)
I don't think Windows sucks, it's a matter of knowing how to configurate it.
Never had a problem (and I'm using Windows since Win 3.11).
It must the same with most operating systems.
Disagree with Avianca, my father has a dell and has caused nothing but trouble, I have a Toshiba with Centrino, which Toshiba offers a lot bang for the buck. Go with a Toshiba with a Centrino processor, simple rule if the Centrino is say 1.5 ghz multiply it by 2 to get the equal speed of a p4, therefore the 1.5 is the same as a 3.0ghz p4.
Well Chris, I say go Dell because a classmate had the exactly opposite situation, he had a Toshiba and it went nuts in no time, then he changed to Dell and everything is ok until now....although I guess Dells also fail.
An AMD Athlon chip, rated at the same speed as an Intel P4 chip, will actually go faster then the P4. I'd definatly say go for AMD. Mind you it's the ram that counts the most, at these speeds with XP. 512MB I reccommend as minimum. 256MB is cutting it fine.
What ever you get, make sure is has a Li-Ion Battery. Lithium Ion batteries don't get battery memory.
