The Exploring Windows e-mail newsletter gives a very nice and brief overview of the different Vista OS options that will be available once it launches.
For Home:
- Windows Vista Home Basic: Increases reliability, security, and ease of use for entry-level computers and basic tasks such as writing e-mail and surfing the Web.
- Windows Vista Home Premium: Goes beyond basic tasks and helps you get more done around the house while more fully enjoying your digital entertainment.
- Windows Vista Ultimate: Includes the full set of business, mobility, and home entertainment features for those who use their PCs at work, at home, and on the road.
For Business:
- Windows Vista Enterprise: Adds protection for sensitive data and helps lower IT costs for large global organizations with highly complex IT infrastructures.
- Windows Vista Business: Helps people in organizations of all sizes reduce costs, improve security, increase productivity, and stay better connected.
It’s probably not surprise that the version that seems most likely to be the one you want is the Windows Vista Ultimate version. Remember, the other nice thing about the latest OS release is the upgrade anytime feature.
