Is Windows Vista Ultimate Better than Home Premium?

Everyone knows the way to go is the BLUE pakages…..

This was proven several years ago with XP, and carries through with Vista

They wore white labs coats and stayed at a Holiday Inn Express last night….

And yes the Vista disc in the microwave is quite fun. I found Business worked the best in the microwave though.

April 1st aside, It’s been annoying that there isn’t a good guide to the differences. Here’s my quick list:
* Able to join a domain and run media center.
* Image Based Backup (as opposed to file based)
* *cough* Ultimate Extras *cough*

Which means that for most people, home premium is plenty.

my answer: not really, but Business edition is well worth the price differential.

Ultimate isn’t really better than premium, but business edition beats both: good feature set without all the Media Center Edition EXTRAVAGANZA!

chris, you’re gonna be sued by people who put their vista discs in their microwave, after all, you live in the US ;)

I have Home Basic i really dont use windows anymore. i just put Ubuntu on all the computers i buy that arent macs

i personally think that home premium is the best buy but then again it is vista so i would rather just have windows xp

ultimate all the way

Tech InterviewsIs Windows Vista Ultimate Better than Home Premium?My Last Day of Live Streaming Have you ever Been Cybersquatted? Are Social Networks Destroying Offline Relationships? What Kind of Web Cam do you Have? What Happens when your iPhone gets Stolen

ya. I wish they’d go back to home and pro.

all these other versions blow.

I have been told (by the tech adviser at CostCo) that Vista does not allow communication between my newly purchased HP Officejet Pro L7650 All-in-One and my HP Laptop with Vista Home Premium. The Vista OS was said to be the broken link between my HP all-in-one and my HP Laptop. I bought an all HP system, expecting their equipment to work together. I love this printer. It prints from commands, but I expect all its functions to function! I want to be able to command scans, copies, and faxes as promised. I have unistalled and reinstalled the software 4 times, getting different results each time. The HP OfficejetPro L7650 All-in One still does not communicate to my HP Pavilion dv6358se Entertainment PC. Further, when I click the HP Solutions icon , a window appears and says, “No HPdevices have been detected. HP Solution Center will close now.” Is there a Vista “fix” in the future? I plan to return this HP All-in-One if I cannot get full function performance from it.

Yeah… the Vista “fix” is here… but you must get back from ultimate experience and upgrade to XP…

Iove you Chris,, but your cretin explanation was worthless, you know
there is actually a difference between the 2, or maybe you don’t. I not taking the time to explain it to You who I consider the
UlTiMatE internet Guru
even thought the difference is miniscule

Yes, Ultimate is better than home, However, XP Pro is better than Ultimate. You see having the X in the name is what makes it good.

When you were given 2 free 100% legit copys of XP Pro, you tend to stick with it ^.^

i think ultimate is better than h. premium, very tweaked premium sp1 “loading lot” but i seen yesterday a “clean- not tweaked ultimate without sp1″ and this not “loading lot”,

yeah but the one that was first to make products was Apple so it doesn’t really matter, Apple-DOS was made in 1978 and MS-DOS was made in 1991, Mac OS was made in 1983 (the Apple Lisa) and Windows was made in 1984 so it doesn’t matter when you found them, all that matters is the products and on that Apple is better

uhh, he has used both and he came with the conclusion that Mac is better, many PC users are switching to mac…

Mac OS X Tiger/Leopard

i still dont get it which one better pls tell me aor mssg me thx

I have Ultimate, dont waste your money….It’s a huge ripoff and only gives you a few worthless additions that are relatively useless to the greatest majority of users. I still feel like Microsoft did a huge dis-service to all Ultimate owners. The number of useful additions over the last year or so, have been nothing short of shameful.

so.. we should go with premium??

I disagree. In terms of the number of features and what each one does, then yes ultimate is better than premium BUT… premium is the one Microsoft spent the most time developing because its the one they’re expecting most people to buy and premium is recommended by all the big computer manufacturers. So, at least in my book, that makes premium better.

Damnit stuttering Stanley. Downgrade your ******* eyebrows

i think i agree =]
besides i’m gettin a laptop with premium so theres nutin i can do BUT vote for PREMIUM
do not rofl at me! lol

he used to have VISTA

I agree,
It’s the most stable of all for now.

Ubuntu is a rather buggy noob distro. If you like the package manager etc, use debian. Sabayon pro ftw.

Debian package manager is the best I have tryed so far, its so easy to install.

Ultimate is still the Ultimate..thats why MS called it Ultimate..coz its Ultimate…Lol……

rofl look at the LisaLee comment at 2:01 xD
LisaLee: Will it make me young again??!

Geek….

Once again packed with plenty of info!

what an informative video!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :p

i heard that XP is 33% faster for games than vista… and did anyone notice that some guy in that forum wanted vista for his dishwasher???

ok stop saying ultimate, primium. its getting annoying.

Fail.

no, you know why, because i dont have time to argue, will just go with i have no idea what i’m talking about, and you do because It’s just not possiable that your wrong based on “you find it hard to belive” you are right, i’m wrong, we’ll leave it at that. becuse honestly, i truely don’t care anymore

but the graphics are worse because xp doesnt have dx10 so screw xp :D

omg you spaztic piece of **** !
you look like a spaz … act like a spaz … and talk like a spaz !!!
you also have no idea of computers since you define the quality in the colour ( chek from 50 seconds onwars )
my sister who if 5 years old know so much more than you

overall … this is probably the shitest vid in youtube

Shut up you *** head

shut the **** up and **** off.

only reason why ultimate is better cause it has AERO thats it

Premium has Aero.

Lmao I did :Uncle AJ somethin’
Those guys are so funny and stupid

wow this guy is a douchebag.

this guy sucks **** all vistas r the same dickhead!!!!!!!!!!!!!

okay…you don’t have vista so shutup. It’s so awsome!

yes i do!!!!!

Notice the DATE… It’s APRIL 1ST!!! APRIL FOOLS! He didn’t mean this!

which is the besT?? HOME PREMIUM OR ULTMATE

i’m confused now… so which is better? i heard they are the same lol

I think he was just joking around and trying to prove points in this video.

hey!…where can i get the keygen of wv.ultimate???!

home because ultimate is the same just with more fitures

home premium is better for home..

u just 2 tallented

I heard that ultimate has a few more freezes and is slower than Premium.

It’s still *** microsoft decided to release multiple versions while leopard only has one.

ha ha ha ha ha that first joke was to funny!!

NOT!!

I was in PC World the other day and one of the assistants was demonstrating a PC to some guy and his daughter.
The assistant told the guy that the computer came with Vista Home Premium. The guy went mad! He said ‘This is for my daughter! She’s having Ultimate or nothing!’.
So yeah, there are others out there who know their onions when it comes to OSs.

this is to funny to me! lmao

lol

lol.. yeah.. the first microwave that gets a bsod..

If they did the same thing as Apple.. then idiots like you would say “YEAH! They are copying OSX again” PLEASE! Give it a rest O.o

“…Just ask anyone…” they were asking you, and wow your not color blind. okay so ultimate has a few more things, Advanced backup features, business networking and remote desktop, and also BitLocker Drive encryption. Premium doesnt include what i just listed… wow and i didnt suckup 3 minutes of your time. and the guy is just not very funny to be honest. he obviously isnt able to give answers just remble some BS to entertain you. but the word better doesnt explain why it is better, jeeze!

You cannot remote desktop to home premium but you can with ultimate.

there is barely any difference between the two of them except that the ultimate has a few more features and eyecandy

I have gone through all the editions,and i believe business edition is the best as it offers the best performance out of them all. The ultimate has all the windows media / entertainment features which slow down the computer cos it uses too many resources. Business edition also gets rid of parent controls which is good to see. No more annoying popups asking for authorisation!
