I will definately get Windows Vista Ultimate as I don't want to miss out on any of the features, I think they have gone over the top with 8 versions though. I may leave it a few months before I get Vista though so that I can see what happens with the security and see whether it really has improved.... read more.
You only have eight to choose from: Windows Starter 2007, Windows Vista Home Basic, Windows Vista Home Basic N, Windows Vista Home Premium, Windows Vista Business, Windows Vista Business N, Windows Vista Enterprise, and Windows Vista Ultimate.
I pity those who end up with Windows Starter 2007:
QUOTE
This edition does not include the Aero graphical user interface, hence it’s not Vista-branded. And there’s no 64-bit edition, no networking, no Fast User Switching, no DVD Authoring, no gaming common controller support, and no image editing with enhanced touchup, and only three applications/windows are allowed to run simultaneously. Good only for really basic users with low budgets.
Actually that bolded part kind of sounds like windows now.
Windows Vista Ultimate - This one is going to be the most expensive, most feature-packed, and perhaps the most pirated edition of Vista. It’ll include new and unique features such as Game Performance Tweaker, Podcast creation utility, online “Club” services and privileged product support. This edition will be perfect for Windows fanboys.
well one i have vist beta right now my dads on the msdn and he got it and is lettin me try it out cause im the adventurous one that dosnt need stability lol.. i reload windows evey couple weeks lol... always doing something to try and make it better and it stoves up so hes like meh here have this and i use it now its not much diffrent from xp... lol its got a nicer apearence but same functionality nothing really worth in it...
its got a kinda mac feel to it in a way just standard install you can pretty much do the same thigns with it but thats all i can tell you atm for its all i no...

Theyre actually limiting the amount of applications running to three? That is the most rediculous thing i've ever heard.
That is the biggest invitation to cracking the OS that i have seen, and no doubt it will be remarkably easy to do. If anyone pays for that piece of crap, they deserve to have their computers blown up.
I'd probably stick with Windows XP, but Microsoft will pull the plug on support and new software will supposedly be made for Vista only. Having 8 different versions of Windows is going just a little bit overboard really, as for most there was an obvious choice of either home or professional, but now it has just got ridiculous. Also, is there any indication of price yet?

That is EXTREMELY limited. Three applications: Internet Explorer Itunes (music) Notepad for taking notes. These are all very light applications, easy on the computer, and yet they would still be restricted. Still, I want to finally see Windows Vista, as they have kept pushing it back. Taking a look at the new Internet Explorer you can expect some changes in appearence and function, but will it just be a copy of the features found in pre-existing applications (mac os, linux) or something better?
After seeing all of this I am not going to get a single version of Windows Vista. It seems that Microsoft is trying harder and harder to make a lot more money off of a single operating system. With Windows XP having two editions that is fine but seven is getting way too greedy. I am going to stick with XP or switch to a different OS unless this is a rumor.

There's a light version of Windows XP in Asian countries and I believe it has the limit of running 3 applications simultaneously. It also has a limit on the display resolution. It's cheaper than XP Home and was designed to prevent software piracy which is high in those areas.
When I buy Vista (which won't be untill at least one year after it has been released) I will probably buy Home Premium. Ultimate will have loads of features I'll never use, and it would be pointless for me to waste my money on it.
At first i thought it was weird having different versions of the new Windows Vista or are they going to change the name again? lol. I'm proabbly gonna go with the basic one. The ones that are like installed on all manufactured computers and i bet it will be the basic one. duhhh... obviously. lol I can't imagine having only three windows open. HOw can i be able to multitask when i can only tri-task stuff. That sucks..

I always believe in the best.. So i believe if i get any other version other than Vista Ultimate i might just miss some new feature provided by Windows Vista.. and i dont want that to happen... I would really Go for Vista Ultimate
There are so many names! Windows XP only has 3, but now they come up with so many! I'll choose the Home one probably.
Actually, there are more than three:
QUOTE
-Windows XP Home Edition - XP Professional -XP Tablet PC Edition -XP Media Center Edition
And probably more in addition.
I probably would want Windows Vista Business. It's the most similar to XP Pro, which I use and could possibly support in a business environment. It has Aero, which I sort of like, and all the other mouth-watering features I would ever need. I would perfer it because I want more fine-grained control over my system (security, policies, and other stuff), whcih the lesser versions probably don't provide.
My uncel once told me that Microsoft were greedy and evil. Well now that I know that Microsoft is making so many versions I totaly agree with him! By the way which Linus OS do you think i sould get lol.
I know there's an option in Ubuntu to change all the font sizes of the general system, the
windows, and etc. Now I'm trying to do this in Windows. I've changed everything about
the windows except for the general system size. How do I do this?...
Hi , I dont know what happened but My system restarts after a few Minutes (at max an hour). Can
someone guess what might be wrong. It displays a System Shutdown Timer (initiated by
Administrator) and then restarts after 60 sec. This is an SP2 so I dont think its a blaster. I
have a ZoneAlarm Security Suite and it didn't detect anything. I even Scanned my Windows folder
from Kaspersky using my Second OS (Vista) but that also didn't detect anything . .. Any guesses
??...
One year after the official Vista release , Microsoft is already working on the next Windows
operating system , Windows 7 , also known as Blackcomb or Vienna . Windows 7 Milestone 1 Build 6519
, the first working version of windows 7 , has already leaked to the w a r e z community , but it
doesn't differs much from Vista . The release is set for late 2009 / 2010 . So what do you think
about Windows 7 . Of course that the work on Vista continues , as it's not yet perfect but will
soon be....
Hello. I tried Installing Windows Vista Home Premium today, but when it comes to the part
of the Installation where it says "Your computer will restart several times" my computer restarts
more then 40 times, and never loads after that. After like, 10-15 minutes of it being off, I switch
it back on, and it restores to XP (Witch is good because it wouldn't start up at all). I've
tried installing this 4 times altogether, and nothing. it keeps restarting continuously more then 40
times. The only time it restarts is after the BIOS loads, when switching/restar...
I share a Windows XP computer with two friends, and we each have our own User Account on the
computer. Recently whenever my friends use the PC, they begin to have problems with it. For no
reason whatsoever, Windows Explorer will crash and close all the current folders that are open. I
went onto their User Accounts to see for myself (with permission, of course), and found that
Explorer would crash any time I right-clicked a File, and would also crash on occasion if I clicked
"File" on the Folder Window's Menu Bar with a file selected. It also happened on rare occasion...
I reinstall (restore) windows almost every 2-3 months. What about you??? Seeing the title some would
say "I do it daily" and some others "How to reinstall?". Let's see the poll results. Linuxers,
see you in other post. Reinstalling windows is a daily chore for the students studying computers.
They have to switch a lot of softwares, compilers etc etc. Windows as we know, will not tolerate a
whole lot of (Un)installations and will ultimately slow down the whole system. This is not the case
with Linux. Just consider this, I installed Red Hat WS 3(the older version whi...

Are you bored at work today? Here's a small enhancement to your desktop. Hope you like it. I)
When you have to open any program you have to click "Start" "All Programs" and then choose your
selection from the programs folder. Now how would it be to achieve the same task in just two clicks?
You can save all your favourite program shortcuts in a folder and view that through a tiny arrow
near the system tray. Its very simple. You would tell, "Ya, I almost knew that". Here's how to
do it. a) First create your folder and add the shortcuts you want to access. The f...
Question to you all, I have a computer running windows XP, now I want to add a "real" DOS
enviroment on the computer (not cmd or dosbox or something like that). So I thought dualboot will
do the trick, but the problem is, if I go on and install dos on my free harddisk, I will have a
problem cause it f*cks up my boot process and windows xp will not start anymore. That I dont
want! Anyone got an idea on how i can install dos so I can multiboot between windows xp and dos
without formatting my windows drive, install dos and then reinstall windows? Any help would be gr...

Ok, so I've done some looking around trying to see if it's possible I could dual-boot my pc
with Windows XP Home and Vista Ultimate Edition (x64). Well, I know it's possible, but I'm
not understanding many guides I read because many people have mentioned assorted stuff like
requiring two hard drives (I only have one 250GB one), and other assorted stuff like software
I'd need to supply certain space to the two separate partitions. I was thinking of making my
Windows XP be more of the serious partition, and having Vista be the more media-centered one, ...
have heard that vista can only handle 3gig of ram. is this true? i have heard also that vista cannot
run smoothly on a 1gig ram pc. is this true? i'll be buying a desktop and a laptop in a month
and my budget is not that big. one will suffer if i add more to one and i'm trying to maintain a
balance. my option is to buy a 1 gig ram laptop and beef up the desktop but i don't want a slow
laptop also. anyone who has an experience on using a vista and a xp with the same softwares. is
there a difference. ...

Which do you think is better XP or Vista or Linux. I am constantly switching back and fourth and
cant stick with either. vist has some pretty cool features but Xp has about twice the amount of
performance....
Iam the user of Windows Vista. I gone with Vista because of unavailability of other options. Windows
will shutdown its support for XP after few years like they done with 98 and other operating systems.
So I brought Vista Home Edition. My computer configurations: Core 2 duo processor. I GB DDR2
RAM. 160 GB Hard Disk And other best available features. Problems suffering with Windowis

good application programs. It is 4 times slower than XP for any Operating System O...
This is an essay I written for a my linux class and I thought I would give my thoughts about how I
compared XP with Ubuntu. QUOTE Windows XP & Ubuntu’s Cold War In 2000 years, there
have been many epic battles, many of which have produced both heroes and villains and many producing
winners and losers. However, in today’s world another cold war is brewing, that cold war is
between Microsoft’s Windows XP and Ubuntu. They will never pull out all the stops and launch
nuclear missiles, but instead will try to provide a whole new world for people t...
Its like a computer in your web browser. http://ajaxwindows.com/apps/windows/content/index.html
It looks good from what i've seen. Like a computer in a window. all files saved on their server,
and so long as you've got internet access (at a decent speed) all you need to do is sign up.
I'm surprised google hasn't done something simmilar, they seem to offer everything else...
Docs, maps, medical records. Other than the major drain on my internet usage (which i use enough of
as it is)......
Okay, I've had Vista for a few months now but just recently my Windows Explorer has been having
problems. It says "Windows Explorer has stopped working" and then I click the option restart the
program. I usually have 2 - 5 Explorer windows open and when I click restart the program it closes
all of my windows and opens up My Documents. I usually get this error one or two times a day but
I'm not doing anything wrong. Is this error only happening to me or has it happened to anyone
else. Thanks. ...
So I just installed vista upon the almighty computer, and it worked fine for a day or less. (Bah). I
installed all my drivers and such and went on my merry way. Now all of a sudden it starts freezing
on me. It's completely random, I can find absolutely NO pattern to why it's doing this.
I've reformatted multiple times to make sure it wasn't just a bad install. I've updated
my drivers, they are ALL compatible with Vista. I've read it could be an issue with an April 06
Security update Microsoft released but I have no such update installed. Being a f...
Windows Vista Sp1
- Does it make Vista a viable OS to upgrade to? (2)
Has anyone actually been satisfied with the release of SP1 for Vista? Does it solve the problems
that we've all griped about? Overview of Windows Vista SP1 From what I'm reading
from that document, I'm actually surprised, appalled, and in a way, now wondering if Vista can
actually be an upgrade. I laughed at: QUOTE Enhances support for high-definition (HD)
drives by adding new icons and labels that identify HD-DVD and Blu-ray drives as HD drives.
That's awesome. I never knew the HD drive that I bought was an HD until SP1. /rolleye...
Hi, We have been seeing Windows Vista Screenshots and from that we can take a look at the new GUI
for Windows. Its called Aero. But i believe it looks more like Linux. Dont you think so. Now the
Windows GUI is no longer unique. The are back with same GUI that other Operating Systems Already
have and Also just take a look at the icons. They are not good at all. Any information about Windows
GUI or you views on it. Please Reply Thank You...
Hey All What you guys think is the best programming language for Windows Vista? Ive been doing C#

How to install Microsoft Windows XP automatically As you know, during installing Microsoft
Windows XP, setup asks you several questions about your installation drive, windows serial number,
your language, administrator password, local time zone and … . So that you should sit and answer
above questions. But there is a small tool in Microsoft Windows CD , let's you answer these
questions before installing Windows. 1- Put Windows XP CD/DVD in the CD/DVD in your CD/DVD ROM and
go to following folder: X:\Support\tools\ 2- Copy deploy.cab in your Hard Dr...
Well I have been thinking about building a new gaming rig pretty soon and I will be able to spend a
bit more than usual because I already have the essentials( Mouse, Keyboard, Printer, Monitor) but I
have a questions about Vista. I have a nice HP dv9000 laptop that I have had for a couple months
that came with Windows Vista Home Premium. Now what I want to know is there anyway that I can
somehow get that onto a new machine I build as long as I take it off the laptop? I mean I bought the
laptop and if it comes with Vista, or any OS for that matter, I am purchasing the li...
Before i start i want to make sure you understand this is not a what OS is better this is a what is

i'm slightly confused on it. Will it mess my computer up if i install it, dont like it, and
uninstall it? OK on with the topic. I own a Mac and work on one for many hours a day, but had
always used a Windows based system since well i was 5 and i remember my father using DOS to run Duke
