    No one can tell you which one to get. Look at what each one has. Decide your
    main uses of the operating system. Then see which O/S best matches what you
    want to use the computer for.

    Your question is similar to your asking; should I buy a Ford or a Toyota. No
    one can tell you.

    Doesn't Home Premium make it sound like it's better than Home Plain, or
    Home Substandard? How do they know what you do at home?

    No need to get Ultimate if you want want to go higher than
    Home Premium. Get Professional. Professional is Ultimate
    without BitLocker and 35 built-in languages. That's why
    Ultimate is only $20 US more than Professional. However,
    until July 11 in Canada and USA, you can pre-order Home
    Premium and Professional upgrade versions for half price.
    Win 7 includes both 32 and 64 bit versions in all retail
    packages.

    Off the top of my head: get Professional, but only because it sounds better
    than 'Home Premium' and you will be taken more seriously. Windows 7 Ultimate
    will be almost identical to Windows 7 Enterprise. Those two will have only a
    few extra features over Professional, constellating around security and
    features of worth only in corporate environments. Ultimate will probably
    *not* be offering future downloads of extra goodies and games this time
    'round, so in all likelihood you will want Professional and it will be the
    cherry.

    Each version 'up' is a superset of the one below i.e. it Professional
    includes everything in Home Premium PLUS extra Professional features.

    Here's a good comparison chart:

    Afaik, Windows 7 RC is Ultimate only. You won't be able to upgrade to Home
    Premium unless you do a fresh install.

    Re: Windows 7 RC

    For my desktop I plan on Professional. Windows Ultimate and Enterprise -
    which are almost identical this time - have some corporate features over
    Professional such as bitlocker, but that's about it. This time 'round it is
    unlikely there will be any Ultimate extras - no games to download, nor any
    dream scenes etc. etc. So I'm going to run Professional not Ultimate this
    time. I've already pre-ordered a copy at about 50% off from Amazon.
