Why each option
Windows XP Mode is a feature exclusive to Windows 7 Professional, Enterprise, and Ultimate editions, and is not available in Home Premium.
HomeGroup is available in Windows 7 Home Premium and all higher editions, so it is not a feature exclusive to Professional.
Windows XP Mode uses Windows Virtual PC to run a licensed copy of Windows XP SP3 inside Windows 7, allowing legacy applications incompatible with Windows 7 to run. Microsoft restricted this feature to Professional, Enterprise, and Ultimate editions to target business users who needed backward compatibility with older enterprise software.
Aero Desktop is available in Windows 7 Home Premium and all higher editions, making it not unique to Professional.
Internet Explorer 8 was included with all editions of Windows 7 at launch and is not a differentiating feature of the Professional edition.
