What is in 7 Ult thats not in 7 Pro


Recommended Posts

Windows 7 Ultimate is simply Windows 7 Enterprise, but made available to end-users on a per-license basis at retail. A few of the features it supports over Windows 7 Professional are support for Multilingual User Interface (MUI) packages, and services for UNIX applications. In other words, Windows 7 Professional will be more than adequate for most users (as it also includes Media Center).

No, No, Yes? :) Remote Desktop Host and BitLocker are only in Ultimate/Enterprise according to the Wikipedia article. As far as I remember they moved the complete backup to cover all products except maybe Starter.

I think you got yourself a bit confused there. To clarify, Remote Desktop host will be available in 7 Professional.

Thanks for the link, GreyWolfSC. I was debating whether I should purchase Windows 7 Home Premium or Windows 7 Professional. After seeing the features for both editions, I've decided to go with the former.

If you care about Remote Desktop, get Professional. If you care about BitLocker and/or multilingual support, get Ultimate. Otherwise, get Home Premium. That's really how it goes for home users.

Sorry, I misread the chart. RD host is in Professional. :)

Pro and above will have complete backup. Home Prem will have a limited type of backup simular to Vista Home Prem. Pro and above will be able to backup complete drives.
