To Vista or not to Vista?

[davetherave2]

So I am thinking about the present state and future state of my machine and was thinking that Vista now is a product that I need to look at again.

Now I know I am going to need the 64bit version as have 4GB of ram but what version. Is the ultimate edition work it or would I be better off with just the Home Premium version?

I use my machine for the following:

Gaming
Streaming content to xbox 360
.Net Development
General Office and Net browsing
anything else that I can't think off.

I'm sure it has been asked several times in past but just want a quick answer and some reassurance.

premium. in my opinion the tiny benefits ultimate brings just arent worth the price tag. and premium has all the features for what you do

I got Ultimate because "lusrmgr.msc" doesn't work/exist on Home Premium and I find that incredibly frustrating as a developer.

Home Premium should satisfy all your needs.
