What is the difference between Vista Home Basic & Business? They both have the same networking options, right?

The best place to see what features are offered in each version is Microsoft unfortunately due to beta users having one version or another before the January 30th release of both retail and OEM versions. As far as networking options those have been included in Windows since 98. Even the basic version will see the options there since all versions of Vista as well as XP have an NT core to start with.

Eventually when there's either an SP2 or 2nd edition I'll get the Ultimate 32bit version. But I still use XP Home along with the 14 updates just installed for the time being as the primary OS. It will take some time before drivers for some hardwares and new product versions are out for running on both XP and Vista. The Home Premium is geared more towards multimedia where the Business version seems a little bit lacking in that direction.
