Window 7 beta running out !

The rule of thumb is that if you have to ask, you probably won't miss the features in Pro. You have more finer controls over your system, can back up to a network location, can join a domain etc. Most of the features you can get with 3rd party software anyway.

I'd suggest Home Premium x64. You may be able to avoid reinstalling but it's not supported.
 
can I reuse on new machine when I upgrade? or is it tied to one installation?
really only need for games as laptop is linux based.
 
got a copy of vista so is it worth getting upgrade rather than retail? I know install will take longer but its not as if I have to do it often?
 
The price difference between upgrade/oem/retail is still pretty small in my opinion... May aswel purchase a retail copy that you'll be able to install on a new machine further down the line :)
 
Professional is all you need really, even home premium is fine you won't notice a difference. Ultimate isn't worth it unless money isn't relevant.
