Re: Windows 7 final editions announced

Why would Home Premium not have mobility center. Most laptops have HP and Mobility Center is a great bonus

Re: Windows 7 final editions announced

If Home Premium doesnt have mobility center, business's selling laptops will have to either upgrade to a higher vista or down to a lower vista.Sounds like Home premium is going to be windows 7's Vista Business ( if you know what i mean)
