Vista Basic/Premium Vs Vista Ultimate

[FairDoos]

Ok what i want to know is what are you getting better out of Vista Ultimate than Vista Basic or Premium? I just want to know before i go splash my cash

Ultimate, but then you could get Basic to use until Windows 7 comes out...

In Vista Basic you don't get any of the cool graphical effects. Don't know about the difference between premium and ultimate though.

Why not just use Win 7 beta? Best of all

the difference between premium and ultimate?
*dreamscene
*networking crap
*BitLocker encryption
*64 bit Vista Ultimate supports up to 128GB RAM, all others (including 64 bit home premium, if im not mistaken) support up to 4 GB

IIRC, Basic 64bit supports 8GB of RAM, Premium 64bit supports 16GB and Ultimate 64bit supports 128GB. I'm not sure if this has changed, but I read that somewhere around Vista launch, just prior to my first Vista Basic machine.
