So... I want to go Vista. I just got a new HDD so I can keep my XP installation. Now... I can't decide on what version is good for me. I could get Home Premium OEM, even Ultimate, but I could also get Vista Business via MSDN Academic Alliance. I DO play games, watch lots of movies, watch TV (TV tuner) but I wouldn't use Windows Media Center anyway. Are the Home Premium / Ultimate **really** worth it for all the media features that they are supposed to have? Would I be missing anything that is cool about Vista with the Business version?

Would you be missing anything? Nope - Not to my knowledge...

Go with ultimate; otherwise you will loose a lot features such as fax capability and more.

I agree, I also have 0 problems using it, i had trouble installing it and thats all. (see below for the memory solution) Also Vista runs better on my PC than XP does.

Although some drivers cause blue screens it will most likely work when you restart.

One major tip. only use 1 stick of memory while installing it (preferably a 2GB stick of memory for x64) and then after EVERYTHING in the OS is updated install a second stick of memory. (and so on with more then 2 sticks)

This installing tip is for a flawless install of Vista. I guarantee it to work (iv installed Vista 20+ times on 4 very different computers)

you will need to refresh your performance every time you do this.
