7 versions of Windows Vista
There is an interesting article over at VIA about choosing the right version of Windows Vista. They even have a nice handy little chart as well but what it really comes down to is this.
BUY ULTIMATE
If you buy anything else, about two months, six months, a year down the road, you're going to be let down when you realize that your Windows Vista non-Ultimate doesn't support games or can't do all the cool new media features or lacks some other main feature which is really why you're spending all that money on a new OS anyways.
This is classic economics though. Microsoft segments the market in the hopes of getting every last dollar they can from people. What I think will happen is that because of the confusion of what the SEVEN DIFFERENT VERSIONS OF VISTA really do, people are going to end up having to buy even more expensive upgrades to the next version.
So the simple solution is just to get the Ultimate version no matter how over priced it may be. ¶ 8:00 PM
