Now more questions. Im obviously getting a 'copy' loaded on the machine. So what version/release do I ask for, cos if its some half assed old unstable release of vista then I dont want it.
Well regarding releases there are

Windows Starter 2007 which is basic vista for beginner PC users with a very low end PC and no effects etc. runs on 256 MB ram.

Home Basic which has basic vista features which can be found in simple XP SP2

Home Premium. I would recommend this to you. It has all the stuff of Vista Home Basic as well as Media Center and Media Center Extender functionality and HD Media support, Windows Aero effects etc.

Business. For business users with some business apps fax support etc encryption. You can say its an alternative to Vista Home Basic but for office / business users.

Windows Vista Ultimate. As the name suggest it has everything . More stuff eat most of yer ram and resources.

There is one Vista Enterprise edition dunno what that is but what i read on net is that its upgrade for Vista Business users.

Confusing aint it . If still confused please visit http://www.winsupersite.com/showcase...a_editions.asp. It has features comparison chart there.
OR
Windows Vista: Choose an Edition
