I ran the Windows Vista Upgrade Advisor and it recommended Windows Vista
Basic, but when I clicked on the other tabs for Windows Ultimate, Home
Premium and Business...it also appeared that my machine was capable of
running them.

So what I was wondering is if the Upgrade Advisor is recommending Windows
Vista Basic based upon the fact that I have Windows XP standard edition?
(Thus if I had Windows Media Center edition, it would have recommended Home
Premium, etc.)

OR is the Upgrade Advisor really saying that only Basic will run well on my
system ?? (Even though the other tabs do give me the green light...including
Windows Aero capablity with my graphics card).
