Looks like I might be going for Home Premium. Honestly who needs to pay a cr@p load extra just for..

Protect against hardware failure

with advanced business backup features

Business networking and Remote Desktop

for easier connectivity

Better protect your data

against loss or theft with Windows BitLocker™ Drive Encryption

TBH I'll just keep the stuff I dont want to loose on my USB hard disk and lock it in a cupboard.

Looking at it I would say Home Premium for me, but as I will be waiting at least a year before even considering buying Vista then my choice may change as I hear/read of peoples experiences.

I am quite intrigued by "Windows Vista Starter" as mentioned at the bottom of that page.

I wonder what that contains etc

I think I will be getting Home Premium Aswell.

Will microsoft not be doing some kind of upgrade system, where you buy a "upgrade disk" and use your current cd key which you use for windows xp and its just upgraded to vista and no longer works with xp.

This would mean they could sell Vista for cheaper as all you are doing is upgrading your license to the lastest product.

Will they do anything like this...

"Suggested retail price for full package product, $239.00 USD. Suggested upgrade retail price, $159.00 USD."

Taken from the bottom of the Home Premium description on there sight so i guess that means there doing some kind of upgrade discount.

Going for Home Premium if I ever get Vista! No need for every backup features of Ultimate, we all disable them in XP anyways.

Now would be a good time to install that unopened copy of MCE on my machine

I doubt they'd let me upgrade from Windows 2003 to Vista otherwise

Why? they don't check to see whether you have it installed, you just need to insert your windows disk at the beginning of the upgrade...
