Excuse my ignorance, and please move this if there is a better forum for this question.

When I did the application to see if my pc could run vista, it asked me some questions about what I might want to do and then recommeneded the Ultimate version. I see here a copy of Premium is being given away. What other versions of Vista exist and is there a handy chart that compares the features?

Google for it, most of it is marketing, but the premium edition is good for gaming if my memory serves...

I just saw a blurb somewhere that said the ultimate edition was going to be over $750.00

That seems pretty high for an operating system.

Yes go to http://www.microsoft.com/windowsvista/getready/editions/default.mspx I think that there is also a chart there! PS: Triumph I think prices for UE are mixed I seen $450 also can u give me a UK price plz?

[W.Harbaugh]

Thank god my mother works for microsoft, it will only be about.....20$ for me :-) tis' quite nifty to have her.

Josh,

Thanks for the listing. That is good information. As for the price of ultimate, I found the story that mentioned it. I was wrong on $750, instead they said $679.

That article says OFFICE 2007 Ultimate will be $679. It says VISTA ultimate will be about $450.

I was right about Vista UE then (being $450). However can anyone give me UK prices? (Or should I just convert it).

[W.Harbaugh]

Probably around 350 sterling, depends what the exchange rate is in 1-2 years (depending on when vista comes out )

Oh my goodness. I read the article multiple times and every time I saw it I thought it said Ultimate. I think I know what happened. When I first looked it up I got the edited blurb google gives and it put the ULTIMATE and the price in the same line, so when I read the article I just put the wrong items together.

Sorry for the confusion.
