Which Win 7 to get Ultimate or Pro?

ademcg · 23 Jul 2011 at 14:42

Just finalising a new build, but can't decide which WIN 7 OS to go for.

IT will be an I7 2600K based build, so I am going with 64 Bit, but is there much difference between the Pro and Ultimate versions? :confused:

With Win 8 pencilled in for 2012, should I just get the Pro version of WIN 7 and save some pennies? :cool:

Useage wise, I game and surf, bit of spreadsheet work, nothing major....comments and advice most welcome

Home Premium

Why do you need more? Just send me the extra £100 if it's burning a hole

The only reason i chose Pro over Home Premium was XP mode.

comes in handy

I chose pro due to remote desktop, I can go both ways rather than one way with home premium

There wasn't really anything I was after in ultimate if I'm honest.

Home for normal users, Professional for power users.
