Dont flame me for this:
Idd buy the home premium.
why:
>got aero, media center[main reason], and other stuff.
>dont need the advanced networking fetures in the office versions or ultima.
>best cost to feature ratio.

you forgot to add a poll. mods please edit it to add a poll.

anyways, I'd like to adopt a wait and watch policy. If vista turns out to be relatively bug-free and stable, then buying Vista ultimate won't be a bad decision in the long run.
so, I vote for Vista Ultimate edition.

But you can't use DirectX 10 unless you have Vista.

I'll use a pirated version or stick with XP.

I have a pirated version, but ms detects it as original/genuine. I was able to install wmp11, ie7 and of course all updates. I even got an offer to get airtel broadband free for 3 months with free installation. :twisted:
Now I'm not encouraging piracy here, just explaining.

As for vista, I guess I'll get the ultimate edition. IMO the user acct control is going overboard in vista, maybe I'll stick to xp.

Naah, Linux if they stop support for XP anytime. I don't think vista will ever be an option for me.
