XP EULA question.

I'm thinking of buying a laptop which has XP on it. I think if I buy XP for my home computer the license allows me to install it on a "mobil device" ie a laptop.

Does it work the other way around? In other words, can I install it on my PC under the same license as the laptop?

Also, what is the difference between XP Home and XP Pro?

no thats not true...you need a seperate lisence for each device

the only main difference with xp pro is that it is able to join a domain, has remote desktop and supports multiple cpus
