Home premium is good for home users but the true sweet spot is Pro, especially since with all the offers around launch it was actually a couple of quid cheaper.

The food chain of Windows OSes:
7 > 2000 > XP > 98SE > 95C > Vista > NT4 > Me
That is all wrong. XP is better than 2000 and both vista and NT4 are better than 98/95.
7 > Vista/XP (Depends on the machine) > 2000 > NT4 > 98 > ME > 95
I think its a matter of opion. So here is my pecking order
7>XP>98>Vista>3.11>95>2000>ME
I used Vista Alternative Media order if that works for OEM too. No mention of needing proof of purchase. Cost me £7.88 back in May 2008.

Hold on... are you saying you'd rather be using Windows 98 than Vista?
If I actually had to use them:
7 > 2003 (XP-64 is 2003 based too, it isn't actually XP) > XP
The others are too out of date or have too many irritations/issues for me to consider using them.
Though I must admit I'd be unlikely to use 2003 XP or XP-64 considering the mouse cursor on all of them is as bright as the white hot center of the sun. (Using my S-PVA Bravia). Thankfully 7 does not suffer from such an issue.

And 98 over 2000? 98 was crap compared to both, especially with all those BSODs.
