    Windows Vista Edition

    Which Windows Vista Edition are you going to buy?
    1. Home Basic
    2. Home Premium
    3. Business
    4. Ultimate



    I think I am going to fork out the money for the Ultimate.

    C# - .NET 1.1 / .NET 2.0

    I can't see the point in spending a lot of money for basically the same thing. I'll either stick with xp or make the move to linux

    Re: Windows Vista Edition

    If was to buy I would get the Ultimate - I like to have full product and not just parts of it.

    Re: Windows Vista Edition

    Yes, thats the worst thing. Buying a version and finding out later that there is something you can not do because you dont have the top of the line version.

    Similar to running IIS on XP Home, can "sort of" be done but built in with Pro.

    So far the testing is that the new security layer is the best security ever on a Windows OS.
