It includes Vista's enhanced security features, the Windows Vista Basic user interface, parental controls, instant search, manual file backup and restore, enhanced games, and improved networking functionality. 3ã€Windows Vista Home Basic N Windows Vista Home Basic N is identical to Windows Vista Home Basic, except that it loses various Windows Media-based technologies, including Windows Media Player 11 and Windows Movie Maker. These shots also include examples of the rarely seen Windows Standard user interface. 4ã€Windows Vista Home Premium The "premium" Vista product version aimed at consumers, Windows Vista Home Premium includes the Windows Aero user interface, Windows Media Center AV functionality, a full suite of digital media tools including Windows Media Player, Windows Photo Gallery, Windows Movie Maker HD, and Windows DVD Maker, as well as Tablet PC functionality and various new Vista mobility features. 5ã€Windows Vista Business The new Windows version for businesses of all sizes, Windows Vista Business includes the Windows Aero UI, Tablet PC functionality, new mobility features like Mobility Center, business-oriented functionality such as Domain Join, Group Policy support, and Encrypting File System (EFS), and new small business features such as Fax and Scan and Small Business Resources. 6ã€Windows Vista Business N Sold only in Europe, Windows Vista Business N is identical to Windows Vista Business, but for the removal of various Windows Media-related technologies, including Windows Media Player 11 and Windows Movie Maker. This product edition isn't particularly interesting per se, and is included only for completeness. 7ã€Windows Vista Ultimate A superset of all other Windows Vista versions, Windows Vista Ultimate has it all: It combines the leading-edge digital media features from Vista Home Premium with the business and mobility-oriented features available in Vista Business. This is the Vista version everyone will want. The only question is, can you afford it?
Been through all the beta's now on the RTM - inclined to agree with you there. Drivers are the biggest problem. but generally it's just a REAL resource hog. Getting Aero to work alone needs a supercomputer - bring Office 2007 into the mix and..... Have to admit, the interface is nice for office, took me a few minutes to work out how to "save as" though!
Same here, too much resources are needed. I hope the January release would be better..not everyone is ready to pay for cutting edge hardware just to get Vista working smoothly
i guess vista has finished last april. but they realise it only .net builder to check it. it is new strategy of microsoft, againist to linux and unix os.
I think it's ugly, and Microsoft is really cracking down on your freedom with their new EULA and shit. I'm switching to Mac.
I run RTM (Ultimate Edition) and like it. My laptop has enough resources to handle it just fine. Drivers are still a minor concern. As an example the Intel Wireless Network card driver utility sucks 40-50% of my CPU. As it is the utility I can just kill it every time I reboot and things are fine. Shadowcopy is another resource hog that can be turned off. Bigger concern is software like FTP. Filezilla does not work properly as an example. Couple others are also showing issues. But the majority of things works just fine. Christoph
