So far I've seen. Cloud Based Logins, I use it myself. Ability to use Hyper-V in Pro version. Those are the only 2 so far I've seen.
If you are going to upgrade to Windows 8, use the pro version. Also, use Windows Easy Transfer utility in Windows to back up your settings. DO a fresh install of Windows 8 Pro. Then install apps and use Windows easy transfer to put your settings back. I've noticed much better pings in games. I've also notice much better frame rates as well. The downside is finding drivers for older Creative XFX cards. I have the Titanium Pro and I had to use alternative drivers.
