which windows vista package to get

Do not buy the 32bit Vista, or else you will be very sorry. It's true that you may have a few more apps compatible with it right now, but Vista is trying to move the computer generation all to 64Bit, so eventually everything will only be made for 64Bit OS's.

hi i have tryed the beta vresion and i like it but looking at the prices they are going to be way more than they should in my mind i will be getting windows vista home premium but not for a year or 2 because the prices is probley going to drop after next christmas xp home/pro will do me for now if u really want it now then download a skin to cover up xp but what ever u do dont buy it now or u will be wasting a lot of money for the extra fue weaks/monthes hope this helps

Even thought I can get Vista for free, I still dont plan to use it as a permanent OS until all the programs I need are supported, or new ones made.

seen as i messed up my xp it seems that vista is going to be my only os till i get linux up. i was hoping to dual boot xp and vista but it looks like that is out the question now. if i dont like vista im kinda stuck with it

I know, the 64bit is the same price, i just happened to copy the link for the 32bit.

I wasnt quoting you elmarco, It just reminded me to say that the 32Bit version wouldnt be the best to buy.

what would you guys get between home premium and business i would choose home premium because i wouldnt need all the business side of it

[-0MEGA-] · 01-03-2007, 07:26 PM

Home Premium is much better, I have the Business edition currently, but it lacks the Media Center feature.

I agree the Home Premium is all around the best deal, but the Ultimate is nice if you got the bucks

my xp is unrepairable and i dont have a re installation disk. i will be getting an rc1 disk and that will have to be my main os till i get my final vista. ive heard mixed reviews on rc1 about how stable it is but i hope it should be ok
