    Differences between vista versions?

    Is there any site with explained differences between various versions out
    yet (home, ultimate, basic...)? What will ultimate have but others not
    etc...?
    Nice they're doing at M$...they give ultimate version for testing, but when
    we'll buy some "normal" priced (final)version, a tone of stuff will be
    missing...and money wasted...

    Home Basic, Home Premium, Business, and Ultimate are all found on the same
    DVD and have been for a long time now. It is the key that determines which
    version you end up with. The CPP Program only received Ultimate keys. Others
    get all 4 keys.
