is Windows Vista Home Basic still 32bit? ( no aero glass)
that means you wont see your 4gb of ram
and also be limited to under 2terrabyte of storage

For me the whole 32-64 bit thing is still a blur. I mean u buy a copy of ultimate say, although i know all versions are on the dvd, and u boot from dvd to install it, Does it then ask if you want 32 or 64, or if you have 64bit cpu thats what you get no option?

This may be cleared up soon in say RC2 or future releases when instead of 2 verions avalable there may only be an .iso of the disc itself, but fornow i have not yet heard how this will work

no you wont get 32 bit and 64 bit together
its either Vista Home Basic 32 the rest are all 64 bit

Ah ok, kinda seems silly then that they made a 32-bit ultimate version on RC1 etc. At least this way it will force x64 driver development, i mean who buys non 64 bit cpus now anyway

Box will contain both 32bit & 64bit versions of the package you've choosen.

See i asked that previous in this thread and was told

Vista Home Basic aimed @ laptops and pentium 4's

Which i thought was iffy cause we already have Ultimate 32-bit RC1.

I though it would ask when you install which verions you wanted
Seems its still unkonwn as i havent seen anything official yet which is why i asked in the firstplace
