Ultimate 32-bit here :)

i'm just curious, but why ultimate? it doesn't really have anything different from home premium that would make a big difference.

oh and i currecntly have 1GB of ram, would 2GB make anything better? i'll probably be getting 2gb soon.

Of course, that is if you forget about...

  • Everything included in Business (not in Home Premium!)
  • BitLocker and EFS
  • Windows System Assessment tool
  • Longer support lifespan
  • Bigger RAM ability
  • Multilingual User Interface
  • UNIX application support
  • Windows Ultimate Extras

Home Premium. Just cant justify $399 for Ultimate. Wasn't lucky enough to get Ultimate thru beta or Business with PowerTogether (got Office though.)

I don't buy "upgrade" versions. I don't want to invalidate my XP license on my primary machine until Vista is a bit more polished. So for now I dual boot.

Home Premium...

Just for playing games (games that dont run on os x), running win-only apps (there are very few i need) and aero glass...

im also gonna install xp soon again when I can get some GBytes back on my 250gb hdd.

For everything else: OS X.

I might get Ultimate by using Anytime Upgrade some day tho I guess... when it's cheap... i mean really cheap... maybe 50 bucks would be what id spend on this one.

x86 Business (from Power Together) for now, about to order my media for x64 though, as all of my hardware has decent driver support. I'm also ordering real media for my Power Together copy of Office to replace the CDs I burned from the downloaded files.

http://www.microsoft.com/office/backup/default.mspx = order Office 2007 media

http://www.microsoft.com/windowsvista/1033...ia/default.mspx = order alternate Vista media

Just in case someone here needs the links. :)

      take your console only release and shove it. i sold my ps5 as my pc wipes the floor with it, at the point of sale i didn't envisage being ignored by one of the biggest and wealthiest developers ever because they simply can't be bothered to support a loyal user base. as i only played the single player versions, i'll be obtaining this "free" when it eventually reaches PC as an afterthought to pay for their christmas party drinks in 2029. screw me, screw you cockstar
    • Windows 11 is now five years old

      Apart from Early Hiccups on Windows 11 on first install on October 6th 2021 on my old Intel 10700 daily use Desktop PC at the time, used to have issue with Bluetooth suddenly no longer working and only fix back then was always another clean install--then would work for a while. Transition to 2024 when i decided to finally upgrade that system for better support for Battlefield 2042 and Battlefield 6 later on, opted for next daily use Gaming Desktop AMD Ryzen 7 7700X and Radeon 7800XT OC 16GB. No major problems at all with this desktop, OS was clean installed way back on 10/8/2025 not long after 25H2 released. Overall i've been happy with Windows 11 Pro from the start, even minor little quirks didn't sway me. Heck i even use Windows 8 and upgraded immediately upon release back then on my old HP P6-2133W Desktop, and while the specs of that machine didn't give me top notch performance--i still was able to do what i wanted to, without too many slowdowns. Windows ME i didn't use on any of my personal systems back in the day, kept those systems on 98SE til XP released, and grabbed that immediately on release date. Kept XP til Vista Released then upgraded immediately, kept Vista til Windows 7 released, then updated immediately again
