| | Newbie Vista Version Question Currently, I have a desktop and a laptop that are connected by a wireless point-to-point network that was set up using the Windows XP Professional networking wizard. I use this configuration to share files between the desktop and laptop and to print from the laptop to a printer connected to the desktop. I need to replace the laptop and am looking at getting one that runs Windows Vista. What is the minimum version of Windows Vista that I will need to retain this functionality? |

| | Re: Newbie Vista Version Question Is that not the bottom of the line version? Why would you say Home Basic is the minimum for wireless when it is in fact the minimum you can purchase? -- ---- Crosspost, do not multipost http://www.blakjak.demon.co.uk/mul_crss.htm How to ask a question http://support.microsoft.com/kb/555375 How to Post http://www.dts-l.org/goodpost.htm _________________________________________________________________________________ "Andy [YaYa]" <android8675@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:A6278D63-8F31-4DAA-A668-683A515AE143@xxxxxx Quote: > "David B." <brooks.dj@xxxxxx> wrote in message > news:uhuoyv7%23HHA.3400@xxxxxx Quote: >> Any version of Vista will work with your wireless network. > Vista Home Basic would be the "minimum". |
