Is Vista™ Home Basic.... very basic?

Thinking about getting a laptop (Acer Aspire 5051AWXMi) and was wondering what it means exactly by 'Basic'

Limiting windows! Why would Microsoft do something like that? Even if thats not the case with the basic version.... why why why :confused:

One other thing, if i got fed up with vista, how would xp pro run on a 64bit system? I imagine it wouldn't be able to take full advantage of the processor, but would there be any noticeable improvement in performance?

Also, what is the minimum ram you would run using vista, is it a memory hog, 512mb or 1gb?
