Business will like this version for slightly more security, but, Ultimate is welcomed by many others as well, but in reality, it is not needed.  Gaming, and Ultimate or Premium, than either one will do the same.

 

I have both, and have not seen any difference, except one is the 32 bit OS ( Ultimate ), and the other is the 64 bit version, which seems to run a tad bit smoother, but that could be just in my simple minded head only  :smileyvery-happy: 

 

If its free.... Take it... But make sure its legal, not pirated

I run Windows Vista Home Premium. No complaints yet. Gaming works fine on it, although I rarely play games on my computer. I agree with SR45 all the way. The decision on what you'd like better is purely up to you.

Ultimate has some "exclusive" features, and may get more, depending what comes next you may think on get Ultimate, The two most "importants" (for me) are BitLocker and the Language Pack... But if you are intereste on get vista with multilanguage functionallity, (I do) some other extras, the DreamScene, and Texas Hold'em are some "cool" stuff Ultimate has... I do hope to get more Ultimate "exclusive" features in the future so the diference it can be bigger

Hi

The best thing i like about it is complete PC backup and restore it will make a

full image of your hard drive if your drive was to fail you can get a new one install it

and Vista Ultimate or Business will reimage the drive just like it was before it failed. 

Good Luck
