Windows differences

Hey all, I'm currently using 32 bit Vista Ultimate, and my Uni has offered me Vista 64 Business for free. I play games and do uni work on my machine, so are there any limitations in Business I should know about? Thanks in advance

no media centre, or ultimate extra , everything else is the same.

I'v used both and have both but main PC got Vista business

Is there any way of getting media centre? I'm not desparate, but it's nice to have. And thanks.

I didnt get on with 64 bit vista, a lot of the programs i used were not supported, although ive heard good things about it!

Im waiting for a little longer, im using 32 bit vista and i love it, removed all the stupid pop ups and what not!

I have home premium 64 and don't have any problems with. Had it for quite a while now.

I would d/l a third party media player instead of using Windows media player anyway.

Yeah, I do that anyways, but I like to have it there (no idea why...). Cheers all. Over and out.

But you have a licence for Ultimate, why use business? Just get media for 64bit ultimate

What he said - phone up Microsoft and pay their "admin" fee and they'll send you the 64bit disk

i use vista business 64 on my gaming machine, i don't want crap like media centre on there (it's good for media pc's though ), and i need remote desktop

vlite + vista bus 64 = super super fast

If its OEM media you don't phone, there's a link in the sticky to fill out a form
