Group Policy – Allows you to control just about all aspects of the Windows operating system locally or via Windows Server 2003/2008. control volume, display different wallpaper, prevent screensaver from appearing, etc. Presentation Mode – Lets you change the behavior of Windows while giving presentations, i.e. Not as secure as BitLocker, which is only available in Ultimate. Encrypting File System – Allows for filesystem-level encryption. This allows software implementation of RAID, which could be useful for a system with multiple hard drives. In addition to the points mentioned above, Professional also has the following features and services: 
Home Premium and above all support HomeGroups. With Professional and Ultimate you can use Windows as a host for remote desktop and connect to other machines. Home Premium can only be a client for Remote Desktop (can only be connected to from another machine). Professional and Ultimate can backup to the network. Home Premium cannot backup to a network location (only local backups). Professional and higher can support a max of 2 CPUs. Home Premium can only support up to 1 CPU. For Professional and Ultimate it’s 192 GB (64-bit Windows) Oddly, Windows 7 Ultimate is only supported until January 2015 also. By contrast, Windows 7 Professional is supported until January 2020. For starters, Windows 7 Home Premium is only supported until January 2015. Here are the various points about Home Premium: Let’s start off with Home Premium first since that forms the base of all other versions. You still get the Office, Windows and SQL Server licences, which makes it just about perfect for any developer.I’ll try to give a more complete listing of what features are missing or added to each version. UPDATE: Since I wrote this Microsoft now offer a Developer version of MAPS which replaces some of the more esoteric servers with Visual Studio. 
MAPS is such good value - and I'm by no means a Microsoft fan - that purchase is pretty much a no-brainer for any software developer who runs Windows in any form. Plus a bunchload of other odds and sods servers and products of lesser interest. 1 for WIndows SQL Server standard plus 10 CALS.1 for Windows Office Sharepoint, plus 10 CALS.1 for Windows Exchange server plus 10 CALS.1 for Windows Server 2008 R2, plus 10 Server CALS and 10 Terminal Server CALS.1 for Office Communications Server plus 10 CALS.(I imagine less in the states) for which you get virtually everything you're likely to need except Visual Studio. Don't purchase either, instead buy a MAPS subscription from them.
