I am a gamer and I love the X64 Vista Ultimate. Got it for free from a computer store my friend works at.
Plays all my games never had a issue with games lagging etc was running maybe 1-2 less FPS in Crysis but no real issue there.
99% of all the programs I used had no problems running either.
ha i was going to reply, didn't see you second post.
Yes Business has aero but then again, an OS is not about eye candy but what it can do, at least in my opinion
Yeah, Go Home Premium... Home Basic is nothing compared to it... thats not to say that I personally would go with Vista at all (I'd go with Linux... it's runs faster and has MUCH cooler effects than vista, but that doesn't mean it's for you.) So, yeah, if you like Windows go with Vista Home Premium.
