How To Determine the Best Vista Version for You
If you’re trying to decide which version of Windows Vista to buy for the first time, simply
step through the following Q and A:
1. Will your PCs need to log on to an in-house network server?
a. If not, and your PCs will only need (at most) to access each other’s files and printers via peer-to-peer networking, you only need a Home version of Vista. Go to Question 2.
b. If your PCs need to log on to a network domain, you need a non-Home version.
Go to Question 3.
2. (To determine which Home version): Do you have a tablet PC, do you want to burn DVDs, or do you want to record and playback video content with Windows Media Center?
a. If not, you can get by with Vista Home Edition.
b. If you need any of the above features, you need Vista Home Premium.
3. (To determine which non-Home version): Does your company have a Volume Licensing deal with Microsoft?
a. If yes, get Vista Enterprise, which enables you to create a centralized installation routine for Vista.
b. If not, get Vista Business, which is available at retail and has most of the features
of Vista Enterprise (as described later in this chapter).
4. (To determine whether you need Vista Ultimate): Do you need some features that are found only in Home Premium and some other features that are found only in the Business or Enterprise versions of Vista?
a. If you need, for example, Windows Media Player (which is available only in Home Premium) and BitLocker drive encryption (only in Enterprise), get Vista Ultimate.
b. If you don’t need such a comprehensive mix of features, save your money and buy a version of Vista that’s cheaper than Vista Ultimate.
