premium is in fact exactly the same.....but the average domestic user will never use ''bitlocker'' or need a 128gb address space
so that's the reason ppl are pointed towards ''home premium''
b/c all that extra few dollars means to them is less disk space

A few dollars more and less drive space? Shucks fellow you can buy a tetrabyte now for less than a 20 gig use to cost. You can't take it with you and if you leave it your family will just fight over it. Nothing was wrong with the old Sinclar 8K. Me thinks I will just use that. Come on stimulate the economy. If it is shinier, faster, newer or cost more money buy it. :-)
