vista ultimate, vista home premium; whats the difference?
 

I recently got vista home premium. Few days/weeks later i upgraded it to vista ultimate and I just can't tell the difference between the 2 operating systems.

What are the advantages of ultimate compared to the other vista operating systems?

You get Bitlocker, Remote Desktop and Dreamscene and a few other things you'll never use.

I use VNC anyway so, really, it's not worth it...

If you are a normal home use then home premium will probably be all you will need.

At the moment i've on a laptop that came with Vista home basic. Is it worth upgrading that just for the odd fancy bit or what ?

Re: vista ultimate, vista home premium; whats the difference?
 

Basic really has none of the features that make Vista Vista even if you ignore Aero your still missing loads of features look at my link up the page

Does Home Premium still have the old XP type remote desktop?

Re: vista ultimate, vista home premium; whats the difference?
 

You have the client software, just not the server stuff - I think

So if I had two home premium computers, I could remote desktop onto the other and control it still?

I thought you could remote onto other machines, but not into them - but I could be wrong - i would check, but the missus has taken the laptop out with her.
