If you take one look at any chart comparing the Windows Vista editions, you will quickly learn that Home Basic is too basic. Even if you don't want (or can't use) Aero Glass, there are other new programs that you might be interested in that are included in Home Premium. Home Basic should probably be reserved for first-time computer users.

Ah, yes, expensive, but from what I hear, if you buy Vista Ultimate, you get as many copies of Home Premuim lisences you want for only 50 dollars each. I don't know if this is a nationwide thing, but there doing it in my city. Which if you think about it, it's a very good deal.

Seems a bit steep for now, although if I had to choose I'd probably take the Home Premium....as in get a new computer that has it pre-installed instead of getting a separate upgrade package.

Dudes, i didn't payed for vista!! but i have a legal copy...
I downloaded the beta version and 2 weeks later i've dowloaded the patch.
When i've installed the patch i was able to update and all the things you can do in the original version(ultimate!!).
I downloaded the patch from the official microsoft website so it isn't a crack!!

Somehow I have a feeling that your copy of Vista will stop working in April or May this year. Microsoft has previously put expiration dates on beta software, to the best of my knowledge.

Howdy,

I've checked it and you guys are right, i only have 21 days of vista left :-/ I'm gonna buy it when my trial expires.
On the tones.be you can buy an OEM version of the ultimate for 110€ so that's what i'm gonna do biggrin.gif
I'm happy that i know taht it was just a trial periode, i know myself that i would bring my pcp to a reparation shop when the traail woulb be over becous i would think that my pc is broke, the 100€ i would spend on the reparation will be my vista biggrin.gifbiggrin.gif

Hey, I too got myself a Windows Vista No-computer - $0 ($0 to upgrade)... And it will remain that way...

I don't know why people are so obsessed with Vista, since it is a major resource hog, and requires a beast to run it... And i's not even stable yet! On the Vista presentations, it tends to lock up or restart on it's own! 1 GB RAM? For just an operating system? And what about other software? Besides, it's not even visualy apealing to me, and it's a pale copy of Tiger OS... Don't evem get me started on that TCPA thing... They want ME to pay THEM so THEY can spy on ME... Only Micro$oft can think of such a nonsense...

So, I said this, and I'll stick by it... The moment everything switches to Vista, stable or not stable, with or without service packs, I'm switching fulltime to Ubuntu, or I'm selling my computer, and buying the calculator... And I always keep my word... So, if one day I stop posting, you'll know I don't have internet access on my calculator laugh.gif

Oh... I forgot about pices... For my taste, too much for such a software...
