I was just gonna dish out 200 and get a copy... btw you can only put this on one computer.  Meaning if you buy vista and expect to put it on 3 computers in your house your mistaken.  You will have to buy 3 seperate copies... I know it sucks

Here are most of the features that are included with Vista Ultimate that do not show up in Vista Home Premium.  I've also noted wheter or not I actually use them.

    Image Based Backup:                Used
    Shadow Copy Backup:                      Used
    Supports Two Processors:                 Used
    Offline Folder Support:                      Not Used
    Windows Fax and Scan:                     Not Used
    Bit Locker Encryption and EFS:           Used
    Device Driver installation Control:      Used
    Subsystem for UNIX-based apps:       Not Used
    Wireless Network Provisioning:           Not Used


So Destyn, in my opinion just go ahead and get ultimate.  If you don't use all the features that it has right away you can easily uninstall those specific components in the Control Panel so they don't waste system resources.  Then one day if it turns out you need stuff like dual processor support or need to encrypt your data you wont have to spend anymore money.

Oh and Pirus; it's called Volume Licensing, look into it. (Activation Not Required)
Also can you show me where MxO's said they will issue a patch for Vista?

Or get a server admin's copy of Vista. Thats what I've been using for XP Pro now for years, never phones home after literally hundreds of installs. :P

Don't believe everything you think.
