Pretty balanced presentation of what to keep in mind when installing Vista.
However in the article they forgot one thing

In the description of the different versions of Vista, it says Vista
ultimate has Media center this is also the case for home premium, Home
premium also has Media center

Re: 10 things you should do before installing Vista

is there a noticable difference between home premium and business? i
dunno.... ability todo software raid-levels (like in XPpro) etc?

i also presume each higher product comes with the same features than the
lower product? (eg, business has the home premium+home basic features)

Hi,

Courtesy of another poster, refer to this:

http://support.teloep.org/vistaver.htm

As for the second question, not exactly, and as far as I know, Business
version does not come with media center which is a major disappointment.

Hope this helps.

Re: 10 things you should do before installing Vista

Yes, there are some significant differences between Home Premium and
Business. And, interestingly, you cannot automatically assume that all
features that are present in lower editions are also present in higher
editions.

For example, Business, which is generally a higher edition than Home
Premium, does not have media center, which Home Premium does have. But
Home Premium does not have remote control or domain networking.

It really, truly is the case that if you want "everything", you just
have to buy Ultimate.

That is the best comparison of the Windows Vista Editions that I have seen.
