Maybe he was thinking of this:
| Quote: | Even a Microsoft Corp. executive admitted he was wrong when he told eWEEK that Windows XP Home Edition would not support hyperthreading, based on the fact that only XP Pro supports multiprocessors.
"Windows XP Home Edition does in fact support hyperthreading," said Greg Sullivan, lead product manager for Microsoft Windows XP. "While Windows XP Home does not support multiple physical processors, it does support the multiple virtual or logical CPUs enabled by Intel's P4 and hyperthreading." |
Intel claims XP Home supports it. If there's some recent subtle bug associated with xp home, that might be a different story, but I haven't heard anything about that.

Right Click on My Computer > Properties, if 2 processors show up then HT is indeed enabled on your machine if you're running a P4 with HT.

probably what the moron was referring to was the fact that the Home edition of XP doesn't support multiple processors.
