    The person who posted the prices in the upper post, you are wrong. Off by like $50 bucks for all.

    Vista Home Basic
    Full Version: $200
    Upgrade: $100


    Vista Home Premium (recommended HIGHLY)
    Full Version: $240
    Upgrade: $160


    Vista Business
    Full Version: $300
    Upgrade: $200


    Vista Ultimate
    Full Version: $400
    Upgrade: $260


    Vista ENTERPRISE
    ( NOT FOR RETAIL SALE. COMPANY ONLY )

    Why would you want Enterprise? Its just like Company Based only, no media center.. nothing.

    Well, I aim to get Ultimate, but I'd get enterprise free.

    I think you'de best look at existing threads before making a topic and then linking to yours in the old one...

    just my opinion though...

    Actually, I'm running it now. GUI looks great but sucks alot of ram. As we're talking now 1gb. The sucky part is, it takes 768mb of the ram and dedicades it to the VGA, so the vga will have a total of 1GB video memory.

    .....
    im using vista right now
    the beta version
    theres no point in getting the enterprise version unless ur running a bussiness with alot shops and stuff

    Ulitmate is the best to go

    im gonna build a super computer, when i get the money
    and Ultimate it the best....

    stupid thing is i was using vista on my comp, but it wouldn't recognise my Router plugged into the USB port... so i re installed Service pack 2

    it will be like that for many things for a while.

    aain the wait and see aproach is ebst, spontaneously upgrading will eb a downgrade for many people. For me, it would probably be both depending on the circumstances, but I'm going with XS OS an OS made by an overclocking as a more efficient version of windows.
