Home Premium Vs. Professional
Hey guys,
I was wondering if someone could outline some of the important differences between 64bit Home Premium and 64bit Professional.
Thanks!

Two of the main differences are:
Professional:
1) XP-mode - Yes
2) Remote Desktop Server (RDP) - Yes
Home Premium:
1) XP-mode - No
2) Remote Desktop Server (RDP) - No
If either of these are something you feel you need or might need then
Professional is the OS for you otherwise Home Premium is a more cost
effective choice although if you buy Professional OEM some of the cost
difference is mitigated but OS is tied to that machine only.
One of the main differences I've notices is the name of the Operating System.
Sorry. Had to.
Just caught this on the forum recently:
Home: 16 GB RAM limit
Prof: 192 GB RAM limit
Not that you would need that capability soon.
Does Windows 7 'Premium' support FTP service???
and before you say Yes! - all the "experts" say Windows Vista Premium supports ftp service ("you have to add it as a service, yadda, yadda") - but it does not - it makes some references to FTP service (as if MS was originally going to include it in Premium kit) but bottom line is it doesn't
The main difference is the features for both home and professional like
In Home= Remote Desktop Server (RDP) - No
Professional=Remote Desktop Server (RDP) - Yes
Also, the difference of RAM
Windows (well certainly all professional versions since Win 2000) have built-in FTP service (and HTTP service) - just activate the service and it becomes FTP/HTTP server - dedicate which folders are accessible (and password) and you can access those files from anywhere you have web access
but I have considered 3rd party app and maybe that's easiest solution - Filezilla might be the answer
If I understand you right, FileZilla will NOT do what you intend.
You want to basically set your computer up as a server, correct? First issue will be ISP and if they block port 80 (there are ways around that). Second is to set up your files properly (need to be set up to be shared).
