Vista versions?

I am trying to find information about what features are on each version of
Vista - like home, home premium, etc.
Every site I try including the MS one just really have broad descriptions
about entertainment etc and do not actually properly list features.
What I am looking for is maybe a comparison table where I can see side by
side what features each version has.
Does such a table exist please?

You should have also included the word "table" in your search query.

Scroll down to the 4th post. A table was posted there.

Superb. Thankyou. My searching skills were always never very good ;-)

Interesting to see that the Advanced Photography Features are only bundled
with Home Premium and are option extras with the more expensive versions.
I don't like the look of all these versions, its too complicated. People
are going to buy one and find they are not going to have the features they
want and find they have to fork out alot more. That will not be helped by
shop staff who won't have a clue to advise either.

That's not a "table", nor is it any kind of decent comparison. Both of
which he was looking for.

But thanks for sharing. ;-)

That was my first port of call, but was not a comparison, just descriptions
of features which doesn't help much when it just says something like "share
your photos with friends".
